You don't have to talk about the emotional stuff but that takes STRENGTH on your part to take control & hang up instead of getting sucked into it.

Sometimes stuff like this can be used to develop our strength skills if we become aware & take the action that stops the emotional crap immediately before we get sucked in
Yes - and like you said, it takes strength. And for me, it would take great strength.
