Thanks for sharing those very poignant experiences. I can personally relate to having an emotional response to something that I then recognize as somehow askew.

Thanks for sharing those very poignant experiences. I can personally relate to having an emotional response to something that I then recognize as somehow askew. In fact, given the complexity of the human emotional apparatus, I'm betting we've all had the experience of a mismatched response through various insecurities, injuries, etc, that manifest as projection and other defense mechanisms. The key to emotional health then, may come down to a question of degree and/or recognition when thinking is askew.
