T asks me how i am feeling if we are talking about something upsetting. or he'll ask if im feeling a certain way...like paranoid, or how it feels to be angry with him. sometimes i cry a lot and stare at the floor or cover myself up with the blanket. sometimes i stare off into space and he mentions that i am dissociating. it took a long time for me to express emotions to him.... in the beginning i mostly just sat there with my eyes closed... he called it hypnotizing myself
