I don't know what I'm feeling right now.
Matching words to feelings has been a major part of my therapy. When young children are hurt, they dissociate because it's too hard to own their feelings. Then the feelings become compartmentalized along with the event. I think of it as taking it back piece by piece. These awful feelings are shame, rage, anger, hatred, abandonment, and so forth.

I am sorry you hurt right now. I know it's the work we must do, but sometimes I think I was better off un-integrated.
