Alexandria I too have the same experiences in therapy. When I first started therapy I felt numb to most of it. I had talked about (a couple years ago) the first time in therapy (abuse) and the emotions weren't there.
However today I feel different. I feel like I'm now processing all this and how it has effected me in my relationships, self esteem etc... (confused as ever and trying to figure it out - it's hard without wanting to shut down) It was like there was a delay in my brain. I think it has something to do with surviving the experience. I am interested to see what others have to say.
Thank you for posting this question!
