I have just learned that I block my emotions until they bubble over.
This really surprised me: because I think things through a lot I thought I was dealing with my emotions. I was really removing myself from them and dealing with thoughts not feelings.
Now I know it, it makes sense. It explains why I get surprised by extreme sadness or anger. I don't see it coming because I block the feeling until it gets so strong it erupts.
It is just such a huge change of view of myself that I am floundering.
Has anyone else been through this?
