This is pretty much how I was. I had no idea what I felt, how to identify it, or where it came from.

This is what I did. I told my T that I had no idea how I felt, if I felt anything, or what most emotions even felt like.

That issue was resolved in a few sessions. I have almost no problem feeling and identify emotions now.
