I didn’t know I had feelings or were allowed or encouraged to have them

So I am in with a therapist discussing some sort of mindfuck and he says (the obligatory and rehearsed, … see the movie “Happiness”) “well how does that make you feel?”  I say, “what the hell are you talking about?”  He repeats, “how does such and such make you feel?”  I stop, reflect for a minute and finally blurt out, “it makes me feel like shit” to which he says “well then don’t do it then.”
