> Does your T ever ask you to assign those things to your feelings? Mine does... and I hate it. She says, what color is it? What shape? What does it look like? Smell like? I sometimes get a vague "feeling" like pulling, or punching, or hollow, or something like that... but not much more. Am I terribly uncreative? Or totally checked out?
no, my therapist does not.
Tell her it's a large black rhombus that smells like juicy fruit...just kidding
If I were to guess, I'd say she's trying to access something on a non-intellectual level??>
> I feel like were I to answer those questions I'd just be making it up. Is that the point? Have any of you moved from where I'm at- this just not resonating at all, to actually getting it? If so how did you get there?I tend to think in metaphors already. I'm with Dinah, maybe we are just wired differently.
