Unexpected Emotional Responses





"Alone with thoughts of what should have long been forgotten,
I let myself be carried away into the silent screams of delirium."
Amanda Steele


Upon opening a taped box, I found  old CD's once used for my business, 
OPEN DOORS which interacted primarily with woman facing challenges such 
as family dysfunction, divorce, career, relationship or enhanced spiritual development.

On impulse, I stacked the discs into my BOSE and continued on with my 
routine.  Awhile later, I discovered feeling unsettled, heavy with emotion,
and definitely not aligned.  Then it dawned on me!  This music had 
constantly played in the background of private sessions dealing with 
traumatic episodes.  Listening to them again, triggered memories of my
emotions obtained by witnessing one other.

Our senses are quite extraordinary!  A fragrance can stir memories, an 
object can flash us back to another time and music can be associated 
with episodes from our past.  There are many of us who are unaware of 
repressed emotions that might not appear until later in life.

(PTSD is an extreme example of this situation)
