perhaps a good way to approach this is dealing with those things that bother you in therapy which is a safe place to allow those thoughts to surface and to learn a coping skill for them. this may help you avoid a delayed reaction that is self defeating.
i'd definitely bring this up in therapy so the 2 of you an sort these behaviors out. usually we have triggers that spark this. knowing our triggers and ways to avoid them helps me.

Thank you madisgram. I think you're absolutely right in saying that my brain blocks overwhelming emotions. That is what my therapist says too, that my brain blocks things and its a protective mechanism of the mind (even if its maladaptive).
