Okay, guys. I have a lot of problems with my emotions. I repress my emotions. I am scared of my emotions. Yeah. I can't even name half of my emotions. But I am thinking about talking to my therapist about emotions in our next appointment. Seeking advice from those who also have problems with emotions, if you have ever talked to you r therapist about repressed emotions, do you have any advice? Anything to make the pain easier? To not net my anxiety get in the way. Anything is much appreciated.

I once went to a psychiatrist, and because I'm forgetful, I wrote all the things that I suffer from on a piece of paper on the night before, and he took it and read it and kept it in my profile.

You got the courage to talk about your emotions. That will make it easier.

I think you should say just what you've mentioned here: "I repress my emotions. I am scared of my emotions". Saying this or writing it down and sharing it with your therapist. It's what I've done several times when I couldn't let the words pass my lips for the anxiety I experienced. In time I felt safer to share out right and it got easier. I still get nervous, but my therapists have always responded with trying to help me figure it all out.

Hi, A good step is realizing you do repressed them. Sometimes it takes seeing a few different therapist before you find one you can open up with. Even a good friend can be like a therapist. Writing down my feelings over the years has been helpful and the quiet of nature.

I really appreciate all the advice I have been given. It would not be the first time I have written things down for my therapist. I do that as I have a hard time remembering things when I go in. I really need to find my courage, as this will be my first time actually knowing what I want to talk about there. He usually needs to start us off because of this. And he knows I repress my emotions, but I think it will be a surprise for me to ask to try to reach for them at the moment, as I am scared to feel everything I have hidden for so long.
