oh hon, I know how hard it is. My lack of being able to express (or even feel) feelings, etc has been a major struggle between my T and I and, ultimately, caused me to quit with her :(
I hated those questions too. Like you, I was like "WHAT?!?" Could you try to write them down? Try to write about how you think it does feel, and don't worry about being "right" or "wrong." And then maybe bring it to next session? Or maybe draw how it feels on the inside, or search for images on Google, or find a passage in a novel that expresses what it is you feel. Then bring these things to session and maybe working with something more tangible will help you begin to express this. Please hang in there and keep trying. Your T sounds great, too. :)
