Abstract
In psychotherapy silence is often experienced as the noisiest of moments. Moments of quiet in the room afford an anticipatory bubbling of thought to arise - a search for solutions, or maybe a simple anxiety about who will say what next? In general life too these ‘quiet’ moments may quite ironically provide opportunity for our minds to accelerate, to fill the void with the grind of their own machinery. Peace and quiet often are not the charming friends we all hoped for. Cognition is noisy and a silent moment in space-time grants it considerable space to increase in perceived volume.
