Yeah, you've got a point. Suppressing my emotions in the past caused a huge eruption later that caused a lot of grief and pain for a lot of people. But then I was totally unaware that I even had emotions.

This time I'm aware of the potential of unpleasant emotions and want to apply some kind of precise 'surgical' knife as a preventative measure. Cut out the 'cancer' before it becomes malignant.
