what you said about the bereavement really stuck with me. i didn't cry when my nan died as i didn't feel like i had the space to. 2 years down the line my depression turned from "high functioning' to extremely severe... has really made me think

This video helped me understand why I can usually make room for other people’s grief, but they typically seem unable to make room for mine. Understanding that was a massive source of relief for me. Thank you, doctor!

Both my parents are abjectly refuse to acknowledge their emotions. Would much rather choose to do emotionless activities like warch sports or tv. But I've changed to identify emotions but concern now that so many people just dont do that.

Very inaightful points you raised you show your expertise and effort.

Congrats for the self disclosure as well, that's brave of you!

I really don't understand how people are able to talk to anyone, let alone a therapist, about their past, or how they're feeling, especially if they are shameful or embarrassed. To me, that seems completely alien. I'm guessing this must be relatively common. This is why EMDR, which I haven't tried yet, appeals to me because there is no way I would do regular talk therapy for the reasons cited. Great video, BTW.
