that's funny because my T said that to me the other day, probably last week one time when I called her one time when I was freaking out & having a panic attack/flashback episode. She reminded me again that emotions are like waves and she said "it's just that you get this with these huge tsunamis sometimes, but it's still a wave and it'll still pass"
