I'd forget about the T who said you were wasting your time. For years I've simply recited the facts and have been able to intellectualize rather than feel. Then, one day... something will be triggered and I will actually feel what I'm talking about. For me, as long as I get it out, that's progress, because it always comes up again and that means she knows what I'm talking about.
I often feel like an emotional robot and I'm so sick of being told (not by my current T) that I have to FEEL rather than just say it, but frankly, at times I just don't see the difference. I'm not sure I really know how to feel. That's where EMDR has been helpful. It reminds me what feeling actually is.
Or, have you ever been told to "just sit w/your feelings." That's another one I've never been able to understand.
