Are there certain things you want to sit and quietly think about? Are there incidents in your past that you feel blocked emotionally where emotions would come flooding out if you took the time to think?

The ways you listed emotions being triggered are the ways they normally are. What else triggers emotions? Something happening to you, you doing something to someone? My feeling is that forcing yourself to feel emotions when you don’t feel them is off to me. You are likely suppressing emotions about the past you never expressed when it happened?
