Hi,

I like launching an idea/thought/statement and to start a conversation about a certain topic. Please, feel free to join.

How can one feel and experience things in a 'normal' way, when this person has had to deal with excessive feelings and emotions, by which he or she created different concepts of those feelings?

To give an example: Someone grew up finding it almost normal that his/her parents would say the meanest things to him/her.

Can this person have or get a better sense of what is normal/acceptable, not just by 'knowing' it, but also by feeling it on a deeper level? Do you think an awareness on an intellectual level can lead towards a kind or 'resetting' of those emotions/feelings, so that this person can be sincerely upset when, in the future, someone says something to him/her which before didn't really get to him/her?
