Maybe the fact that certain things you see on TV have a triggering effect for you @Toughcooki, could point to a possible technique for bringing out your emotions. I'm like you in that, for me, certain movies or certain songs, for whatever reasons, can trigger me to tears. And in those tears I'm able to 'see' the underlying emotion causing it.

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!
