Like you are fighting them? I think it is more helpful to dive into them and understand them and then work your way out of them.

Makes total sense. You accumulated these feelings when you were a kid so when they come out now your inner child is "alive".

What is normal anyway? We can only be where we are at, at the moment. We have good reasons to be where we are at, at the moment.
