Your reply has captured my mind most of this day. I've tried to reply with an answer but couldn't put it together. So... Here is what washed out in my mind...

My fears, I don't believe, are in feeling the emotion. I believe they are in response to validating the emotion.

When I'm triggered, it's usually numbness that I feel. In blind faith, I want to know and see the emotion that was there. I think. Saying that is kind of scary. Those things that you mentioned kecanoe to me seem to be moments of impact that created those feelings that you mentioned. There is a part of me that does not want to go back to the point that those were ??? What's the word? Created/born/made real in my mind? Does that make sense??

My mind, I think, just filters certain situations the same way it would have in the moment it was created and decides if it's ok to stay or not. Hope that makes sense.

I'm looking for answers too and would value your opinion.
