In which I react to schoolwork

[cadenzamuse]

I am catching up on all my Crisis/Trauma readings for the semester because Reasons, and I am discovering that I have Instinctive Feelings about things.

Very interesting. I recently read a fascinating book, Come As You Are. It's about sexual desire but covers a wide psychological swath. There is a section where she talks about feelings as being like tunnels, and if you have a feeling you have to go all the way through the feeling or you'll get stuck until you process it. I wonder if that might be part of the idea here-- or maybe not--but the idea of re-experiencing the feeling and letting your body and psyche resolve it could have some merit in some situations. I could also see it done wrong, though.
