Hello!
I am currently completing my first therapy practicum. My supervisor has suggested that I work more on the emotion side of my clients (my clients really struggle with expressing or identifying emotions AND I am struggling with how to dig into the deeper meaning and feelings of surface level emotions). Most of my clients are very thought oriented and I find that I am better equipped to manage thoughts, but not so much with the emotions. My supervisor suggested making assumptions about the emotion they are feeling but I don't know where to go from there. Does anyone have any resources or recommendations on how to build this skill?
Thanks!
