Strange that a T would give up so easily...

YES, definitely, I did find a wider range of emotions.

For example, I always thought shame was just a weapon used by my mother to punish me. Nothing to do with me at all. Not a real emotion in fact. I was very surprised to discover that shame was something I could actually feel.

My T once told me that she had taught me to love - a piece of rare bravado on her part. I certainly learned a lot about love, but I wasn't completely loveless to start with.

In reality, the other emotions were always there, but the almost constant anger drowned them out.
