This is a huge part this frustating feeling ... what is the 'right' answer type of mentality. (not sure if that is spelled right)
In therapy this plays out when she asks me a question. Depending upon the question I take my time answering thinking, "Is this the answer she wants to hear, or is this how I feel, or is this what I think I want to feel or how I'm suppose to feel ... " on and on ... minutes go by and she will wait or ask, "Did you understand the question?"
Often I answer with clarifications and waivers, "Well my feelings about xyz are not linear."
I feel better in reading all these responses that I'm not alone. Thank for you adding another piece to the puzzle.
