I am probably not explaining this well.

you explained it very well. and that is something that i have been working on for a long time in therapy - learning to just sit with the stronger feelings - obviously i have not learned yet huh. i do ok with the ones that aren't the strongish sort! when stronger ones have come up during a session and t says to just sit with it - just close your eyes and sit with it - i get all fidgety and nervous and frustrated. i guess she just got tired of trying to get me to do that. i can't blame her.
eta: yes, i realize i am ping-ponging again. don't mind me.
