Thanks for bringing this topic up again, sunrise. I don't like that question either; in fact I hate it but my T isn't going to stop asking it because she is taking a 3 year course on somatic experiencing! I've resigned myself that this will be good for me and that I will "get over" my reluctance to think and talk about my body.

Your T's explanation helped me as I know nothing about this subject. My T also told me something about finding a part of my body that feels okay. She asked if my feet feel all right.

I have a feeling that for me, this body work will be helpful in dealing with shame as well as trauma.

I would suggest telling your T about your analogy next time, and your feelings that the body work is unnecessary. Maybe he will agree with you, or possibly there is a deeper reason you are resisting it and that would be something to think and talk about. I'm not trying to "play T" here, just thinking about my own situation and wondering why I hate that question too.
