There is a certain move in Yin circling that tries to correct for this: the ever present refrain of "I can't feel you." The problem with this move is it serves as a crutch for the listener of an equally important skill - feeling emotions through repression and inexpressiveness.

My favorite way to teach this in circling is a much more Yang move, and I thoroughly enjoy experiences where its' used on me - the playful confrontive move of "No you're not angry." or "I don't believe your happy" or "Then show me you're sad" or a simple "That's bullshit".
