I am no stranger to the brain-shutting-down-during-conflict dilemma. The good news is that, with work on oneself, it IS possible to get past that automatic reaction.

Thanks Cyrena, you and everyone here on the board have been such a help and support. This is such a safe haven to be, when everything else in the world (to borrow from 'The Weepies') "spins madly 'round".
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
