My therapist (appropriately) expresses two emotions for me: anger and sadness. I have a lot of trouble letting myself feel those things, and when I do feel angry or sad, I am not always kind to myself. I handle my emotions poorly in general, but with those two, I seem to completely dive off the deep end. I like that she does it. It helps me to see what it looks like to express those emotions in a healthy, safe way.
