I struggle more when t asks me a question and I don't know how to answer. I find thinking about emotions on the spot very difficult. I need time to process - sometimes a lot of time. If I can't start to answer in say 30 seconds to a minute, I tell her I can't verbalize what I am feeling right now. At least then we have a place to work from and she knows I do have feelings about the topic.
It can be a very frustrating process.  |
I'm actually pretty good at dealing with not knowing the answer to her question, I think I specialize in that area
. But I like your "I can't verbalize what I'm feeling right now".
This feels silly to write down. It's as short as "I'm afraid the moon is going to fall out of the sky". And so far I haven't shown up with anything written down so I might make even more of a big deal doing that.
