I used to have time delay reactions to therapy. I honestly wouldn't know I was angry or sad or whatever till a few hours later. Then I got to where I knew I was feeling something but didn't know what.
I used a lot of creative visualization. Before I went into session, I would go deep within myself, opening doors as I went along, to where my feelings were. I could generally pinpoint the place in my gut where I felt something. Lots of things like that. Visualization is one of my talents.
But I only did it when I was ready, when I felt really safe with him, and when I felt mostly able to control the process so that it didn't overwhelm me.
