I had the hunch back then, but the thing that really drove it into my mind was when I was attending a group therapy session as an intern. The group leader directed a few particularly accurate questions at one of the clients. She kept op a poker face. I felt a punch in my stomach, like it locked up I felt so uncomfortable I wanted to run away. And I was thinking, whoa, what happened? I have absolutely no reason to feel this. And then the client started to sob because the emotions were too strong for her to contain them...
At that point I realized, ok, this is undeniable. I better learn to recognize which emotions are mine.
