Thank you for all the comments. I like seeing that I am not the only one who has difficulty with naming specific body parts as holding feelings. It makes me feel not so weird!

What do you think she wanted to hear? What you said sounds OK to me!

I hadn't made up the analogy when we spoke, but I did tell him the body parts wasn't that helpful to me. I did try gamely to name 7 parts during the protocol, so I wasn't resisting that. I tried really hard to do all parts of the protocol as he guided me through them. I am not reluctant to think of bodies or squeamish about them, so that's not it. For whatever reason, I ususally experience things in a more holistic way rather than isolating stuff to one body part. I try never to say "I don't know" to my T, but next time I might be more honest and tell him during the protocol that I don't know what body part is particularly safe. Maybe I can just say "everywhere" and that would be good enough.

My T did seem pleased that the color associated with the positive resource state worked so easily for me. He said different things work for different people. I am a really visual person, so that must be why the color works. A different trauma method T told me about once involves visualizing a place from one's past that one feels safe, like the grassy street corner from one's childhood home, the warm and comfy attic, a clearing in a forest grove, or wherever. I am also able to do this easily. T said the important thing for the protocol we did was that I could readily access the positive resource state, which I could. So I guess the body thing isn't critical. Since he was there, T experienced himself how much the technique helped me; that success encourages me that I shouldn't stress too much because I can't do the body part thing well.
