Julie, so what does your IC suggest you do with those feelings? That's what gets me stuck, I don't want to internalize them but how do you express them in a healthy way. I have been trying my own brand of "music therapy" - just singing along to music that fits my emotions and that seems to help. I bet your dancing would work too. I would like more ideas on how to deal with these feelings.
Crying is really good, and if you can't cry in your IC office then where the....
Journaling is great too.
Most emotions are a body state, change the physiology change the state, exercise, dancing and exercise terrific.
Also try this:
Identify the over strong emotion
Where is it in your body?
Is it moving? Sticky? Tar like? Does it flow? Colour?
Then outline it's shape in your body, then roll it into a ball.
Move it around in your mind, shrink it smaller and smaller.
Roll it to a finger or toe, then flick it away.
That's what I do. Mine is spit like and headed to WH!
