esthersvirtue - I'm going to try and remember to clarify with her on Tuesday. It just was so hard to comprehend at the time that I wasn't able to think what to even ask. The idea is way out there for me.

mybestkids2 - I've never thought about a difference between feelings and emotions. I rarely use the word emotion. I usually talk about my feelings. They do have a different feel to them don't they - I think being emotional has the connotation for me of being more worked up than just feeling a certain way about something. If that is the case, then my T and I were probably talking about emotions. I don't know - now I'm confusing myself.

alexandra_k - I like to think that emotions are understandable like you said. Everyone has emotions for a reason - they make sense if you step in their shoes and they serve a purpose for that person - the only thing is that sometimes they aren't really serving you anymore, but have become a hindrance or liability. That's when changes are needed. But we often don't see that for ourselves. Thus ... therapy.
