He said "Yes it's like you are reading out a grocery list. We need cherries, eggs..."
Meanwhile the list had some horrendous things that have happened to me. There isn't any connection emotionally to any of it. Is that strange? |
I don't find it strange because it also happens to me. When I have told the therapist things about my past, she has said I sound like a robot and that I am without inflection or connection or anything. I don't feel anything about what I am relating - I mean seriously I feel nothing when relating it to her, not about the information, not about telling her, not about sitting there - just nothing.
