I did what's called rational therapy. But my T would often start out by asking me about my emotions, what I was feeling, if I was up or down or upset or angry or sad or bored or ho-hum. At first when he asked me how I felt, I would tell him what I thought or believed or demanded or wanted. I didn't see any difference. Over time I learned to separate those things and work on them if they were working against me.

T's have to start somewhere. They often ask how we feel about things. It's okay to not be able to say or to feel inappropriate things or to just feel all confused or numb or ridiculous. Now your T's knows emotions confuse you. That's a good start.
