Hi Joel,
This is a beautiful description, and I have nothing special to add to it. The rap on TSK is that it does not have a practical impact on your life, but your experience demonstrates that this is far from being true.
I had never been struck by this phrase before (it’s on p. xxxii of SDTS, as I discovered from using the CD), but it’s great. Inevitably when I have spoken with therapists who use TSK, it’s the space aspect they find the most helpful. Here is a indication as to why.
