Good topic! No easy answers. I have been accused (rightly so) for years by several T's that I am very cognitively aware and have a high "emotional IQ" but that I do not seem to "feel" the feelings I am discussing. Dissociation seems to be the answer for me. I just go bye bye in terms of "feeling" something yet can talk about it, almost seemingly process it, etc...all while not having experienced anything more than words coming out of my mouth.

Working on it! Don't have any good answers. I am with a new trauma therapist now who will stop and ask "and what are you feeling right now? What are you experiencing in your body?"

Eeks!
