rainbow, feelings certainly can manifest themselves physically, especially when your mind doesnt know what to do with the feelings, like brightheart said. i am not dealing with sexual feelings in therapy right now, but just this past week I was sitting with very uncomfortable/tough feelings and it manifested in my body and head just becoming EXHAUSTED. You know that feeling right before you fall asleep? Where your body is really, really heavy and it feels like it will take more energy than you have to move it? That came over me during therapy this week.

She said that becoming tired/sleeping is a coping mechanism when I am overwhelmed..maybe it is something like that for you?
