Lately, I sense you are frustrated with my inability or resistance to feeling and expressing emotions. It seems like every time we start making progress on an issue it comes down to me blocking negative emotions. Maybe I am projecting my own frustrations onto you. I know asking if you are frustrated will yield a response that essentially says you are not frustrated. I know that would be the therapists response since you are not supposed to feel nor share emotions with clients. However. for me it would be better to know that there is something going on and that I am okay with identifying emotions in others since I struggle with that as well. For you to deny what I am perceiving if the feelings are really there, reinforces my belief that I should avoid being open with my feelings and emotioms.
