Learning to trust myself III

[Burgbud]

One more thing for you, Heather...I'm reading NYS's CP book (He's Scared, She's Scared) and came across another definition of "rationalization":

...rationalization is a defense mechanism. It is a method that people employ to make unreasonable, or irrational, behavior appear reasonable. In other words we use it to explain away behavior that doesn't always make sense...

In other words, Tracy-logic.

BTW, I got the impression that NYS wasn't necessarily saying that you rationalize your own behavior, perhaps more that you rationalize H's behavior. But only he knows for sure.
