So she told me to close my eyes and "walk through my house". She everything like I'm wearing a body cam and tell her how/what I feel/think.

IT was very unsettling because I didn't realize I had so much trouble feeling but if it's not anger or depressed apparently I don't feel it.

She said there was going to be much more to all this but she wanted to start with baby steps because my damage is so deep.
That kind of sounds lie my PE therapy. I have to close my eyes and walk through the trauma giving all the details, I have to say it three times and record and listen to it daily . Usually when I talk about it I don't cry but during the sessions I emotionally connect to it and start crying. It was very hard at first but getting a little easier to listen to.
Yes, do baby steps and good luck with this.
