My T hasn't asked me this recently, we're working on other stuff, but when we were doing heavy duty EMDR, she'd always ask me what and where I'm feeling in my body. I found it very helpful, because I absolutely somatize everything, and in the begining couldn't verbally express my emotions - it's like I didn't have the words, but I could describe feeling like I had a ball of knives rotating under my shoulder blade. I'm getting better about connecting physical sensations to emotions, although I find I predominantly feel things in my body.
