You Can Talk About It… But Can You Feel It?


Hello Reader, One of the strangest moments in therapy (and also one of the most common) is when someone becomes really good at talking about their feelings…but still can’t actually feel them. They can tell me the whole story. They can name the pattern. They can even say the “right” emotion words. “I’m sad.”“I’m angry.”“I’m overwhelmed.” And yet their body is still locked up like a vault. No tears. No warmth. No tight chest. No flutter of joy. No weight of grief. Just…distance. It’s not fake....
