This question came back to me today. My appt with my counselor last night is whacked up into bits and pieces. There are a few things I can put together. One of those is a discussion we were having about analytical and denial. I have no idea what we were talking about. I had just made a statement and it's like my brain shut off. Complete blank. The best I can figure out is that denial stepped in and - I don't really have words to explain or describe what that felt like.

So maybe denial is not in favor of the discussion that going on. I do remember my counselor asking me if it was maybe a gatekeeper. I'm not sure if that was before or after that happened.

Anyway. Your post popped into my mind and I just wanted to comment on it.
