you are in a triage state of mind even when the crisis is over.
interesting--I made that observation, with very similar terminology, to a friend I was talking with last week. you're right--I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop, anticipating an attack, looking for trouble where there isn't any. I think it's a kind of PTSD response, really. how do I get past it, tho?
anyone else been here? what did you do to relax your defenses, emotionally take a deep breath and drop your weapons?
thanks for validating my idea; I think you're onto something.
