I had this same discussion with EMDR T last week. Since the very beginning she has been trying to get me to tell her where in my body I feel things. She knows I hate the question because I don't know often I feel numb. Over time I am better able to tell her where and what I am feeling in my body.

The other part is that when I am disassociating or feeezwning she gets to get me to get up and move around and do breathing exercises. I REALLY struggle with this. We talked about it quite a bit in my last appointment. I explained to her that it is because I am uncomfortable with my body and the idea of focusing on it to do the exercises is very difficult for me.

I realized since the appointment and reading here that it is because of my weight. I was always heavy. After the birth of my three kids, 12 years ado, I was obese. I lost 90 pounds and was very low normal. I have since gained a bit back so I am mid normal. Regardless of my weight I still feel overweight. T is very physically fit....although I dont think she judges my weight I do.
