I just got back from my T today with this issue of hating my girlfriend's chihuahua; rationally the dog is innocent, but emotionally it is the scourge of the earth to me, and represents a lot of things symbolically.

If you had to rate your level of neglect and emotional turmoil from your childhood, from 1 being fine and 10 being hell, how would you rate it?

I'm thinking people are triggering something specific to you-a shot in the dark though, I can only go off of my own experiences;

I hope you keep talking about it, and that this thread will be a good place to express a lot of the anger you must have;

Take care,
