hmmm...this actually is the opposite of what happens with me. Though I'm not close to "coming to terms" with any of it yet.
Most of the time, when I report an "episode" I talk pretty generally and clinically if I need to be more specific. I keep the emotions at bay because I *can't* feel it and report it at the same time. The feelings are so overwhelming they shut me down.
Usually what happens is I tell him something and we spend the rest of the session, or the next one, on how it felt to tell him. He then usually moves me into how it felt at the time. But, I've supressed this stuff a long time. And, I work with little kids, so I tend to really watch my language, just out of habit. I remember the first time I used the F-word, I thought my Therapist would fall out of his chair...
