This is what I dont get sometimes, and I will bring it up with my t on Tuesday. Here is the thing. I use to meet with her every 2 weeks, now she has bumped it up to every week recently, anyway, for the session hour, I sit there, btw I have a great connection with her. I sit there and we talk.
So I present one of my topics for the hour, that is when I can be organized, and when I am done, she gives her feedback, to me that is processed, to her its not. Also during the same conversation, she will ask, " what kind of feelings and emotions does that bring up for you? Let say I say angry or sad or whatever, then she will ask " why does it make you feel xyz? this is so damn confusing because I dont know why it makes me feel xy and z to begin with, I just thought I would throw and emotion out there and that would be it you know. Here is the analogy I want to give her:
The topic would be a turkey dinner on thanksgiving.
The sides would be all the emotions and feelings that come with the dinner.
If I am talking about the topic, I am giving her the turkey dinner, which always comes with the sides. why then ask "what is this bringing up for you?
Isnt it obvious? If the client is telling you a story from the past, a sad fearful and hurtful story, wouldnt you know all the generic emotions that come with it? of course the clients emotions and feelings wouldnt be happy joyful and leaping bounds.
What do you guys think?
