I’m not sure if my experience is similar to yours or different, but I definitely have had intense feelings come up in therapy that I could not name or understand and that were incredibly uncomfortable for me. I have told my therapist that if I quit therapy, these feelings would go away and my life would be simpler. His response is that he thinks I feel these intense feelings all of the time, and hide them well, but they come out in therapy in part due to the nature of our therapy. I am kind an in control in my life outside of therapy, but in my therapy relationship I’ve been different. I suppose part of that is liberating in some way, but still uncomfortable for me. I’m definitely feeling things that I have not otherwise consciously felt. It’s all quite confusing to me and difficult too, yet I keep going back for more. It’s almost like I’m unlocking a door to another dimension.
