Hmmm... not even sure that gratitude counts as an emotion but I'm really not sure where to stick this one... emotions typically are not my thing.
I know this must sound crazy but I am feeling really overwhelmed with gratitude for my massage therapist who also has a significant background as a therapist. I met with her yesterday and she has always said it is OK to talk about what ever comes up while she is working with me. She asked several times about what I was noticing while she was working on me. Well... I had been holding it back for a VERY long time but the dam finally broke... again... we are talking about gratitude here... It wasn't anger, sadness or a "negitive" emotion and nothing that I am greatful for is inapropriate in the context of our work together. Anyway... I have been to hell and back with this woman through all kinds of emotions... good times, bad times, angry times and out and out whack nuts times... and she has always listened as long as I needed her to listen even if it ment going over our time. She has always supported me and done what ever it took to support me in releasing those emotions. Yesterday though she shut me down. I don't get it. I've asked her several times if she is just as comfortable with the "positive" emotions as she is the "negitive" ones. She always said yes and always has... until yesterday.
Now I'm a wreck. Don't get it... any of it.
