It cracks me up every time Dr. Hannibal Lecter (the psychiatrist) asks Will Graham (the client), “How does it make you feel like?” and without fail Will answers, “It makes me feel like… ” Then Will’s focus moves inward, searching for the felt sense just as a well-trained body oriented therapy client does.
They are good. Their therapy session is exquisite. Both the therapist and the client know how it works and dance very well together. I’m sure some of the writers have had a very good therapist.
How do I know? I know because my therapy sessions went exactly like that and it worked. Fortunately, my therapist was not a cannibalistic serial killer nor a narcissistic intelligent psychopath.
So when your therapist asks you how it (whatever the issue of the day is) makes you feel like, you might want to look inward and start your answer with “It makes me feel like …” In the end, it is what matters, not what you think but how you feel.
