Is “Nurture” the only way to attend to feelings? What if nurturing makes me want to gag? Are there other options for responding to feelings?

What does it mean to be “reactive”? Or “overreactive”? Are some people just “sensitive” or is there more going on?

My client came to therapy because she was "overreactive." So we chat about reactions; what they are, how they work, and why - spoiler alert - there's no such thing as "overreacting."

How important is telling our “story” - our history, the things that have happened to us and what we’ve been through - in therapy? For my client, the idea of having to go through her history and tell her story was really anxiety provoking. Luckily, I didn’t need to know the story - and I explained why.

My client is sick of being told she isn’t “feeling her feelings” and that she just needs to “feel it to heal it,” because, in her words “If I knew how to do that, I wouldn’t be here!” So we talking about how to actually go about feeling our feelings.
