I obviously do not like to FEEL anything, or so it seems. I think I DO express my feelings a lot, so I do not understand your question. Not upset, just giving it a lot of thought because my therapist says the same thing. I am not an outward emotional person. I appear to be somewhat calm, cool, collected, etc.. but at home and when I am alone, I am VERY emotional.

My assignment this week is to explore my FEELINGS about some events that happened in my life. I have thoughts, but she says I am not allowing myself to FEEL the emotion that goes along with those thoughts. What does that mean???

I cry in our sessions. I tell her that I am angry, depressed, discouraged, feel trapped, lonely, anxious, etc... are those not FEELINGS? I pace the floor, move from chair to couch to the floor, etc...I am showing her that I am FEELING something when in session!

Therapy is driving me crazy! I do not know how to do therapy any more. Just when I think I am doing well, I get slapped in the face with something that she thinks I am holding back on. I have confessed to her every dark secret, event, hurt, pain, issue, etc... that I can think of.

Am I the only one who is confused about this?? What more is expected from me? No wonder I have the fight or flight issue! I FEEL like I am losing the battle. What battle? I don't even know that the battle is! Am I making this stuff up? Why am I even IN therapy? That is a question I need to ponder.....
