My T. also tells me to do this. I'm known for saying something and then running to the next subject to avoid talking further. So, she tells me that probably to get me to talk MORE about my feelings. I sit with them but they turn into "ok, you think I'm sitting with them, now what?" and stewing that I don't want to sit with them. Nothing positive has happened yet. But, my T. mainly says it with regards to my feelings IN session, not outside.
