So that's one thing I'd like to suggest. Yes, and good on you for trying. There's absolutely nothing to dread from your therapist. Just be honest with them and that's all you need to do. They love it! |
Well, it seems like my emotions can only be triggered by something outside of myself. Someone else talking, me talking to someone else, something I hear, something I see on TV, etc. Like - I can't have emotions unless something sparks it - I can't sit quietly and think about things and feel emotion, it's only something unexpected, kind of. If I know it's coming, I won't feel emotion. So - hard to create!! LOL!
