Through therapy I have become much better able to detect my emotions, feel them, and express them. When this process started, I could feel somewhat out of control. I was used to keeping everything tightly within so learning to let things out was hard. I probably was clumsy at first. I am better at it now though still far from a pro. Maybe this is similar to what you're experiencing?

I suspect that's what's happening -'underlying problems that are coming to the surface'. Dang dang dang dang.
Yep, I also have not been in touch with my emotions my whole life and T is working with me to acknowledge that they exist.
T keeps talking about trusting the process. I keep questioning her about it.
Thanks for your feedback. I just hope this doesn't last for long. T told me that it's o.k. to feel uncomfortable. Just notice it, she says. But twice I've had to take klonopin because the emotions just got to be too much. I've never taken drugs before so that is quite worrisome for me.
