Treehouse,
I have a hard time expressing emotions as well, or knowing where the heck they are coming from, or even defining them. Anger was scary in my household as well and I told myself I would never be like my father. I went to the whole other extreme of not wanting to hurt anyones feelings.

You have a grown, which is great, thats what therapy is all about. I guess in time, I will grow more to.

Chaotic,
You hit the nail on the head with the anger part. I have such a hard time expressing anger about my mom because I no longer have her. It can be very confusing; I feel like I am doing something terribly wrong if I share with my T something that my mom lacked in.

Sunrise,
Thats great that you felt safe enough to express anger with your T, even if it was only a couple times. Its good to get it out and not fear it. I need to work on that part.
You asked why T like when we get angry, I don't know lol, maybe we should ask them. Wonder if they express anger at home, or only try to get us to. It has something to do with regaining power, part of the healing process

Phoenix,
Thank you, I hope my T can help with that area as well. I feel stuck with it right now. I think releasing them is a big deal, and I am glad you are able to feel safe enough to do that with your T.
I feel safe with my T, I think it's emotions themself that I fear
