awareness of sensations » littleone

In reply to My T's talk about feelings has twisted my brain up, posted by littleone on January 26, 2005, at 20:23:14

What a question!

WHen I started therapy, I was the same way, not at all clear about what I was feeling. It did help to see where it was in my body, and then to pay attention to that.

For example, I was scared a lot. It wasn't until I was actually frightened by something physical that I was able to identify it.

But a feeling, how does it feel?

It's almost an awareness for me. When I am sad, I am aware of behind my eyes. Not tears, but just something happens behind my eyes.

When I am anxious, I am aware of my stomach, nausea sometimes, and a taste in my mouth. And that feeling of being frightened, which is in my throat and chest.

From there to figure out why I am having that feeling is not so easy. But that's another kettle of fish.

Hope this helps.
