In reply to why can't i verbalize?, posted by ghost on January 6, 2005, at 20:59:08
Ghost,
I hear you. I don't have an answer, but wanted to tell you that I'm the same way, so I understand how frustrating it can be. Talking/opening up has always been extremely difficult for me, but lately (and especially tonight) in therapy, I just want to spill it out and can't. We talked about that a little. For me, often I can't even articulate what I want to say. (T says those feelings are pre-verbal.) Also, I'm often afraid to say things... fear of hearing it myself, fear of my reaction... (SO afraid to cry!) And sometimes things are just so disorganized in my head that I don't know where to start and then nothing comes up.
I don't know if I helped you or not; just sharing my experiences.
