And I haven't done that yet. I'm not sure, but I'd guess that I'm very, very frightened indeed at "feeling those feelings."
What do you need to do to get into contact with those feelings? How do you do it? Do you rely more on T to evoke those feelings? Is that more part of her job? I really don't want to mess around on these things. I want to go straight ahead. Suggestions?  |
you can work through those thins in therapy and if you are fearful, certainly thats where you should start.
i work residential, so i have the freedom (and the captive audience!) to do lots of different types of things to evoke emotional experiences. writing letters to various people, trauma art work (this works big time!) and various experiential exercises that can be done in the group.
on an outpatient basis, you may be able to do any of those things...
