Thank you for your considerate reply VeeDubb65, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond in such a detailed manner. Childhood demons can be a real problem; however, I have always just reframed the experiences in my mind – I think this is why they have had little influence over my present state of mind.

However, I feel I should explain something. I have recently started seeing my father again; however, this has brought up some unpleasant reflection. I’m very happy with how my life has turned out, but I would still like to make my peace with the man. I don’t think it would cause me any emotional harm to just leave these feelings alone, but I intend to try and deal with them anyway, because as Jordan pointed out, it is healthy.

The strange thing is I’m not sure if the technique helped me let go of the emotion. The physical feeling though, was extremely alien. The emotion became irrelevant in terms of the experience.

I think you have a good solid system for categorizing your emotions. I would say I have 99% of my life under control, though I think I may be tempted to replace the word control – more of an understanding of my place in the whole scheme of things and the knowledge that I can develop these situations if necessary.

I’m really not sure what this technique – if it can be called that – even is. Though I can honestly say I have never experienced anything like it. Very strange stuff!

Thanks again for a great post!
