I think it's a person's ability to feel and EXAMINE what they're feeling; that is, instead of just going, "Oh crud! Anxiety! RUN AWAY!!", saying "Oh crud! Anxiety! I bet this is because my mom yelled at me, and it feels like I'm being thrown around violently on the inside," or something like that.

Did your T or Pdoc tell you this? Maybe you should ask for a better explaination.
