I guess my T told me the same thing today during session. She said it worries her about me because I'm an up/down person. She likened it to a roller coaster using hand motions going up and then down and then up and then down. I guess it worries her because it is not predictable in the slightest. Now, from your thread, I find myself thinking more about that comment and I'll probably think about it until next session when...hopefully...I mention it.

I'm sorry that things have been difficult for you lately. I'm early in recovery and trying to develop the same tools myself to be able to deal with things instead of doing this push/pull thing I do. I have been told by others that I feel my emotions very deeply...my T says I have very passionate emotions and that I'm exuberant..which I guess is a great way of putting it, but at the same time I believe plays a big part in this push/pull, up/down thing.
