I’m curious about how people express emotion in session (if you do that is)?

Do you talk about it? Go silent? Something else?

And, do your Ts catch on?

I know this seems like a rather basic question but it puzzles me. I tend to show very little emotion (not out of choice) or so I've been told — I can literally feel the gap between what I feel vs. what I express.

I also tend to observe my emotions a lot in general (rather than feel it) which of course allows me to talk about it. This has its benefits but I’ve also often wondered if it’s a not-so-good thing given the curious distance (and a 'split') the act of observing seems to create (T opinions on it have differed by a fair amount).

And, my experience with Ts has varied in how well they catch on to what I’m experiencing emotionally — current T thankfully seems to get it fairly quickly which makes my life much easier (and has also said that I show a lot more than what I've been generally led to believe).

I'm not looking for advice on my situation (although of course if you'd like to comment away, go for it!) but rather about your experiences.

Haven’t created a poll because well, it didn’t seem poll-able.
Thanks for this!
