The first time he asked this I was like.. HUH! But then I realized my whole body was tingling or a feeling of lifting. I now can recognize this feeling when I am really dissociating.
Another time was extreme heat all through my body, and it was connected to shame. I get that feeling a lot when talking about childhood.
It gave me a bit of awareness, that I found somewhat helpful. I think if he asked me 'where' in my body I feel sadness or something, I would look at him like he had 2 heads.
I read a good book called: The Body Remembers. It's how traumatic memory is stored in the body. Might be a good read if you are going to be doing more of this work.

Hmm, you know, I might actually be able to answer that one. What am I feeling physically is what I'm going to try to answer next time. Because if I can say "I feel tingly", then I can look for where tingly is. Seems much easier than looking for sad or anxiety.

Just hate it, absolutely. Especially when T doesn't take "I don't know" as an answer and I have to make something up.
