Maybe he is wanting you to add to and learn more emotional vocabulary in order to describe all your feelings. I know I have a limited vocabulary of emotional words and T has been asking me to use other words and to describe what the word means to me. I think children learn to identify their emotions as a developmental step with healthy parents and I'm sure many of us have skipped this step and are trying to learn it now.

I don't know about the tape recording part though... it would definitely inhibit me to do that.

Take care

Thanks, everyone.
I appreciate everyone reading my posts.
He said he would delete it in session- he says he wants me to hear me- but I hesitate b/c I hate the sound of my voice. I was thinking of finding a list of emotion words- it`s obvious he won`t teach me any new ones, so if that`s what he wants, I`ll have to do it myself. Sheesh!
