This is something that has been on my mind for a while. My T mentioned a few times that I am very cognitive about my emotions and that I talk about them but he doesn't see me displaying any in therapy. This came up in relation to sadness . I tried explaining that I am not there to feel but to process and discuss what is going on in my life outside of the room, that I might be sad that day but I come to therapy not to simply feel sad. I don't see the benefit of sitting with emotions with someone that you are not close too. Its different with friend or family when its more natural and time is not limited.
