Off topic a little...When I first started to try to identify my feelings, I learned that analogies helped. I still use them currently. For example, just last night in my email to her, I said I feel like a child on the playground needing to come back to check that mommy's still there before going back to playing.

Also L is very good at mirroring, so she helps me figure out what I'm feeling.

Maybe you can tell your T and Pdoc that you struggle with identifying emotions? And if they could help by mirroring or analogies?

It's okay to struggle with it and it's okay to ask for help.
