@kinacptsdtherapist: If you’re someone doing your own deep attachment work, or you’re a therapist supporting others in deep attachment work, I recently published a workbook that may be a helpful resource for you. The Felt Sense Attachment Workbook includes a series of experiential exercises designed to support deeper exploration and discovery of attachment experiences, patterns, and implicit learnings. You can find it at KinaWolfensteinTraining.com.
I know what I SHOULD be feeling and why that emotion makes sense, but I don't actually feel it. The only things I "feel" are panic and guilt/shame most of the time. I hate it, I feel distant from everyone and everything.

Jill the better mom :
It’s hard to explain to people that I don’t know how I feel. I don’t know if what I feel is appropriate or adequate or over the top. It takes me days to process emotions and feelings. They literally make me physically uncomfortable. Then I self isolate to try to process.

Felt this. I’ve done it for years - research, understand why, anything but name my own emotion and sit in it. I actually had to google what does loneliness feel like and once I connected to it had a full on reaction. It was awful at the time but very healing I think. I’m listening to my body to hear for other emotions but I haven’t found any yet… maybe because watching these clips is intellectualising rather than feeling 🤷♀️

Me and my siblings were all raised by emotionally distant parents. I can come across extremely cold to other people, I've got better with close friends who I honestly care for. But recently my mother has started "acting" very emotional in certain situations. Looking for comfort from me and my siblings. These are situations that people would rightfully get upset with, but coming from one of the people who raised us this way the emotions confuse me.

Could that potentially cause an inability relate to one’s younger self? I’ve had many therapist want me to talk to and/or sympathize with my child self and I simply CANNOT connect to that concept whatsoever.

My mom conditioned me to feel shame whenever I was upset or sad..she said that I was just fine and to leave her alone..she was very attentive and supportive of my brothers..it felt like there was something wrong with me..the prevalent feeling was that she despised me..she refused to help me or let me live at her house during college breaks.. I was 18. So she didn’t have any legal responsibilities to do anything for me

from age 8-18.... got told by therapist that i seemed to have never developed a will to live. Just exist...... possibly why I couldn't conceptualize planning for the future 😬

I didn’t start intellectualizing until I was an older teenager and I think it was from CBT therapy and “reframing” as a coping strategy. It’s taking me years of IFS and EMDR and somatic techniques to undo this.

I think we do it because if its logical, then its real. if we have proof then were not being dramatic

It seems I very rarely know what im feeling, what my emotions are, more so I’m in tune to what my body is physically feels like. Thank you for your content.

this makes so much sense I tried intense therapies like brainspotting and EMDR but I feel like they made me worse every time because I didn’t have the internal attunement to deal with those big emotions properly

Right I need us to understand that belonging and connection are not the same thing belonging is ownership connection is reciprocity. I’d rather not belong to fuck all but I can be connected to everything.

Or PRAISES a lack of emotion…my dad would tell me he was proud of me when I didn’t cry about things including physical injuries that would make most kids cry.
