PT: I am feeling angry. TH: You don't appear to be angry. PT: It makes me really mad (smiles and makes slight movement of arm and and limp fist). TH: Can you show me with your fist how angry you are? PT: (makes fist) TH: And if you exaggerate that impulse what does your fist do? PT: (softly bangs arm of chair) TH: And if you allow yourself to feel the full experience of that anger what is it like? PT: Shows more force in movement. TH: And what does that impulse feel like? PT: Like a volcano wants to explode in my chest!
