A 45-yeаr-оld wоmаn with unknоwn prior psychiаtric history presents to clinic as a new patient.

I don’t have a problem with psychiatrists; actually, my husband’s niece is a psychiatrist. She went to medical school at Harvard. Have you ever been to Boston? I love New England in the fall when the leaves change colors. My favorite colors are earth tones, but we decided to paint our house blue and I’m not sure if I like it. I used to spend a lot of my free time painting, but that was before we had kids.” The patient’s response is an example of which of the following thought processes?
