Good for you for posting this.
I do have to disagree though. A therapist can work with you to identify different emotions. We aren't born knowing how to identify how we are feeling. It is something that little kids need to learn. Some people are deprived of this important developmental experience and so they need to make up for it as an adult. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that DBT has an element of this too).
A good T would meet you where you are at. It might be uncomfortable, but (ideally) it is gentle too.
I strongly brelieve that therapy could make a difference for you!
Best,
EE
