...talk about your emotions?
I thought of this topic last night during therapy. Because my dad always discouraged talking about emotions, I've always been very bad at it. Being a very intellectual person, I find it much easier to detach myself from my emotions and speak about them from a logical standpoint as if they belong to someone else. For example, instead of saying things like, "Because this happened to me, I feel like this." I'll say something more like, "Well, if a child is introduced to this at an early age, naturally, this would be a responsive coping mechanism."
As you can tell though, I have no problem talking about things like that on the internet.
How about you?
