Trying To Remember

I have been given so many suggestions and advice from the therapists that sometimes it all runs together.  Anyway we were watching a movie and the character was very animated in an embarrassing situation.  One of the suggestions was asking what the little man thinks people we see or characters on TV are feeling.  And for whatever reason I remembered to ask.  And he told me that character was sad, mad and embarrassed.  Spot on little man. 
One of his issues is being able to regulate emotions and one of the ways we help that is by naming emotions.  I am also suppose to tell him how I am feeling and how I am dealing with various emotions.  A lot harder than it sounds...at least for me.  It's kind of a simple explanation for a complex situation.
