I wonder if there are 'superficial' emotions and emotions that are more authentic. That a certain emotion could be 'learned' response but others come out of nowhere to ambush you. So, I guess the authentic one is the one that cannot be controlled easily.
Makes sense to me. Does that mean if T's teach us how to express strong emotions more respectfully, those emotions start to become more easily controlled and less authentic??
IDK. I suppose I want to learn how to express more emotions anyway... and I want to believe I don't have to express anger in a mean way to do it. My t pointed out to me that "anger pushes people apart" and "sadness draws people together." So I've been thinking being able to show sadness, which seems like hurt or vulnerability, would be better and easier.
I guess I'd probably also think someone is more authentic if they can express a wider range of emotions. maybe
