Can you tell her it feels like pity? My T says things like, ‘that must have been awful/scary/you were so little/just a child’ if I’m talking about my trauma with no emotion or feeling.

I realise how much more disconnected I must have seemed, especially at the beginning of therapy... speaking of horrible traumas with a blank face and monotone voice. Now at least I can feel something about them, because he’s helped me by naming the feelings. T doesn’t say ‘awww’ though, I would obviously find that insulting.
