Suppressed Issues




"The emotional trigger that begins an argument may have little
to do with your present situation, but has dug up a wound.
Madisyn Taylor

On occasion, we may find our lovely selves reacting over zealously to a situation with a force building inside.  Accompanying our physical response, unrelated emotions may be forging to the foreground.  It is as though someone has pushed a button and we are not responding, but reacting.

We can take a deep breath and do a quick inner search, asking what is truly going on.  When we experience a 'knee jerk' reaction with feelings of losing control, we can be fairly certain that we are experiencing an inappropriate response.  We may be playing out a role from an entirely different performance.

Are we deliberately creating drama in our lives?  Do we hope to gain recognition through our negative behavior?  Stand back.  Take a breath. Do a self-inventory of what is really happening.  Apologize for the over reaction, having compassion for unhealed issues.
