ESN, I'm good with your question about timelines for emotions. Yes, that is not a standard method as emotions do eb and flow and never occur one at a time.
Without hijacking DIM's thread on this, it was my guess that DIM was in distress and her outlet was anger based expression... when the underlying emotion was NOT anger... so by clearly focusing on the anger emotion, the person in distress sits with it for a moment and goes... hang on... I'm not really angry...
hope that makes sense. I'd love to see you start a new thread for yourself ESN and learn where you're at and have some dialogue on this stuff. I'd love to know what you've been up to and learning.
