It was actually a pretty useful question for me when I first started therapy and had a really hard time putting my emotions into words. Pinpointing where I was feeling the emotions actually helped me differentiate between them. Honestly, it's still a useful question for me even if I do feel silly being asked it. And I get that it's not for everyone.

Now... "What can I do to help you?" That I don't think I've ever had a good answer for!
