> I think happy emotional exhaustion is an OK thing. It is draining yet feels so nice.My T seems to think that it's not so "healthy" or "normal". He seems troubled by my need to recover after stuff like this, and wishes for me that I could tone down my emotional reactions. I'm not sure I agree with him. I'm not sure he really "gets" what it is like to feel that way. He did acknowledge that this emotional sensitivity was likely a very useful thing for a future T to have. I do agree with that.
I suppose that taking care of myself physically (icky, read better diet and exercise) would help as well. Physical strength and health goes a long way to helping emotional health. I guess that's next on my "agenda". A ways off yet. Small steps...
