I'm still very good at reciting the facts, detached and unemotionally, just like you said. But more often, the emotion kicks in now and I just try to go with it. It doesn't always work, and I could kick myself when I walk out afterwards for not connecting with the emotion. I want to CRY, one long drawn-out cry, but I'm too afraid to. Still am. I am superwoman when it comes to holding it in. My strength, as I've said before, is also my greatest weakness.
I like the idea of printing out what you wrote. Last week, I took my pdoc a letter and made myself read it in front of him. Wasn't as bad as I thought, and now he has it down on paper right in front of him. He was very kind about all. Somehow or other, I find it easier to cry with my pdoc than my T, but I don't feel the emotional connection with him (maybe it's just not yet), but sometimes, for me, just stating the facts gets me going.
good luck,
antigua
