I've been called 'cool' or 'cold' because I don't 'emote' enough. I am calm in crisis. You should have seen my H during earthquakes we've had. He runs out of the house, but I went calmly to collect the kids.

So, I don't understand it either because now by myself since I began therapy my emotions are spilling over [but not that anyone can see] Instead of pounding nails in the garage, I go dance wildly alone every night.

I almost kinda cried in session once when I read a very hurtful letter to T that had been written to me. I guess it was nice to be able to show my feelings or even to feel them at that time.

It's so confusing - I have a friend who expects me to 'woo hoo' when something cool happens but I just smile and intellectually appreciate it but so often it doesn't descend into my gut. Is there something wrong with me? Maybe being raised in a family in which the only emotion shown was anger has kept me from feeling - feelings are dangerous.
