Quote: I have tried to address my anger and resentment, go through my FOO stuff, etc., but in the end, I still feel the same emotions when the same situation arises. Knowing myself means accepting this reality and not trying to act like I am healthy. It is only self deception.
Do you have a separation between your feelings and your actions? Feelings just are, but actions and behaviors are a choice. And actions and behaviors can eventually result in a change to the feelings. The feelings have to be examined with the goal of healthy or unhealthy, and a conscious choice can be made on how to express those feelings.
Are you saying that making a conscious choice to behave a certain way even though your emotions are screaming otherwise is a form of self-deception, or am I misreading you?
