I'm not often called a warrior. Thanks for that. :)
My therapist says that control is relative and relinquishing it is a way of reclaiming it too. He wants me to separate out my feelings of being "emotional" from being in control. Those are hard to distinguish between.
The other thing that happens is that when I'm really upset like that, I feel so loud! But my therapist insists that I talk very softly - and get softer when I get upset (most of the time.) I think that is because noise was forbidden - and everything sounded really loud in the middle of the night. I feel like I'm screaming at him and that everyone can hear me. He says telling at all is going to feel loud because the words aren't suppose to ever be uttered. I guess I'll have to work on this - speak up and slow down. Story of my life...
