I've been talking in therapy lately about some of the abuse I went through as a child and young adult. Frequently, my T will ask how I feel about something and I will think for a second and then reply "I don't know". I know that some people feel angry about their abuse and apparently this can be a good thing at times, but I've told my T that I don't feel angry or like I am an angry person. My sister seems to be angry about the abuse we endured, but I don't feel that way. When I think about it, I don't really feel anything. Sometimes I feel a little sad, but just a little not a lot. Is it normal not to know how you feel about something? It's not even just the abuse, when my T asks me about other things too, sometimes I just don't know how I feel. How can a person not know how they feel about something? I was just wondering if anyone else had this experience, and if anyone has any advice/experience/tips to provide on the subject I would greatly appreciate them. Thanks!
