I do tell him what I'm feeling to the best of my ability - yet, I have this instinct to push the feeling away so when I say I'm feeling sad, for example, I minimize it or tell myself I have no reason to feel that way. This is automatic - it happens as an internal shift even when I try to keep it out of the session. It's not done purposefully.
Last night with T, I was more able to hold the feeling. In fact, the feelings were so present they radiated almost. I dont know how else to describe it - they just permeated and were pervasive. I dont know....
I don't have words a lot. It's almost like pre-verbal **** or something. I struggle to verbalize - it's just where I am.
