It is not too much to expect, and then there is the hurdle of actually communicating without sending us off into trauma/Trauma, childhood- or otherwise. It is only recently that I’m even aware that I’m predominantly emotion-driven, acting/reacting before considering, and that’s largely thanks to The Blindboy Podcast and his summaries and examples of Rogerian psychology, cognitive behavior therapy, and transactional analysis. Here I was thinking my extensive education, travel, and employment conferred “adult” status, only to realize I’m likely emotionally stuck in various unresolved traumas from infancy to my teenage years. Thankfully I (believe I) can rewrite my life-scripts towards adulthood (acceptance of responsibility for my actions, +?). My feeling is that, expectations acknowledged, Fred Rogers’ style of communication is sorely underused in the US.
