Sorry I kind of went off before I fully read your questions. No I don't think your therapist is going to think that things are not bothering you. They know that we all have emotions and there's no getting around them regardless of whether we show them or not. The reason for asking us to name the emotions is so that we learn to recognize them and deal with them. My understanding of it is that you can't learn to deal with your emotions until you're able to label them. My therapist also says even when you are numb you still have emotions going on inside that your body is dealing with. There you go I can talk the talk and regurgitate what he tells me non-stop every single day. Unfortunately I can't walk the walk.
