So when another person "pushes our buttons" (buttons are really just little unhealed wounds, weaknesses)what do we do with that? Is it better to get angry and start hitting all their buttons or to recognize what's happening and figure out why that button is so sensitive and then try to heal that spot and rid ourselves of the possibility of being hurt by that again?

I had to go through all of this to get to the other side and I can tell you, it's worth it. I have said many times this experience was a gift in really ugly wrapping paper, but a gift nonetheless. Most of my buttons are gone now, a few still left and I'm sure there will always be some, but they won't cause quite so much pain.


^^^Good stuff....really good stuff. The buttons are yours, so they are yours to control. And they are among the few things we really DO control in these situations. What a gift! (But yes, the "wrapping paper" is ugly and scratchy...)
