I am starting to think that T is like a personal trainer at the gym, only they are "exercising" and building your emotions and your brain. If they ask if you missed them, it is like they are asking if your muscles were sore after your last workout. This is how they can tell if what they are doing is working or not. They know you are going to sweat, either physically or emotionally - they are not going to be repulsed by it, they expect it, actually the more you "sweat", the better. Actually, since I have been working so hard physically on my apartment the last few weeks, I have been getting more in touch with my feelings in session, physically and emotionally, so I think my example is not TOO farfetched.
