I agree with verbalizing our thoughts/feelings in session, as doing so helps to process them within a therapeutic relationship.

Like my t could be sayin something and I'll say, 'I am having a reaction to what you are saying.' I don't really know what the reaction is but I do feel kind of a barrier going up, or I feel a hint of anger, etc.

It helps when one can express these thoughts and feelings right then and there. A big prob for me and I guess others is that our heads are a bit clouded while in session and it takes us some time to say, 'hey, I was feeling angry in session, what was that all about? I'll talk about it next time...' I'm still working on haveing the immediate awareness. sigh.
