av, I think you and hhh both have the same problem with the roller coaster. Any time the emotion hits--aka the roller coaster car arrives--you assume you have to jump on and ride the ride for the duration. I disagree. I think you can look at the car, know that it's going to take you for a crazy ride, and choose not to get on. You can acknowledge the feelings and feel them within reason, you don't have to go all out and wallow and give up your hard earned progress.
Remember, I whack with 2x4's because I like you!
