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!
