When I mentioned my capacity, I meant that I'm not sure if I have the ability to "experience" deep feeling the way a normal person does. Therefore, I don't think I could inadvertently or therapeutically project these feelings towards my T. I'd probably have to ask her if it was OK and appropriate first :-)

One cannot experience feelings the way anyone else does because they're only one's own experiences, not another person's. And there's a huge difference between feeling/experiencing one's feelings and talking about or projecting or whatever; we don't get to "choose" what to feel, we only get to chose what to do/think/say about those feelings. Denying one feels doesn't mean one doesn't feel; it only means one isn't aware of what one is feeling (it's unconscious) or one wishes they didn't feel what they feel and thinks they can push it away and not feel it by denying it. As I'm sure we all know; denial doesn't work very well/forever and things ooze out the cracks despite our best efforts to keep them in check.
