I know that doesn't sound like that makes a lot of sense. I think I've spent so long repressing my feelings that I don't know how to feel them, even though I want to.
Have any of you ever struggled with this? Has your T helped you or given you advice about this? |
Perhaps knowing the feelings can be directed towards oneself, put into some sort of hobbie, could bring better understanding as to why they are being seen, or what can be done with them. Some people enjoy doing volunteer work but whatever feels safe to a person could help.
