If yr T doesn't have such a list,or if you don't want to ask, you can find one at http://www.guidetopsychology.com/emotions.htm

You could print this and carry it with you each time you go to see yr T. It's just a tool to help you find words, it wouldn't be scary. Do you think you could give it a try?
when T asked me to come up with a word she also listed off a bunch of words that i may want to pick.some were. angry,confused,i hate you,(i didnt want her to think i hated her)maybe she was trying to do the same thing
