I wish I could be more externally readable! I've been in therapy for a year and around 5 months, and I've never cried during a session. T tries to get emotional responses but my body overhauls it and I just end up with an uncomfortable, misleading smile.

I jokingly told her I wasn't installed with the program that gave me access to strong emotions and we had this little conversation:

T: “You don’t think there was any emotion in the things you wrote and shared with me?”
Me: “Emotions are a symptom of humanism. What you encountered was merely nervous system palpitations.”
T: “What about anxiety..?”
Me: “My neurotransmitters shoot off that.”
T: “Also known as having feelings.”

Oh, therapists, always with the semantics. T herself did get flushed and tearful a few sessions ago, though, while reading something I wrote. Might've been pregnancy hormones... might've been the strange phenomenon she calls "having feelings."
