Beloved Grand Eagle
I hope everyone reads this help I just got from these two TMS people
I get it now. I'm a Type A person working for a super-Type A person for several years and it is very stressful.
Now I know where my anger comes from, I know how to handle it. I will journal about it and also, as someone
else on TSMwiki suggested, I'll write my boss a letter about it all but not mail it.
I already know how I can adjust to working for him... I'll slow down, not jump through his hoop, and work at MY pace,
not his.
Monte Hueftle, you've really been helpful and I want everyone to know it. You told me this:
Your mind and it's Type A patterns are doing Two things:
1 - Generating Inner Tension
2 - Repressing Emotional Energy
Most people understand #1 - Worry, Striving, Controlling, Pleasing, etc. - all cause or generate inner tension.
What most people don't understand it that these patterns are also denying or helping you avoid being with your emotion (whatever that emotion is). This means your Type A patterns are your Repressing Agents.
So it is much more important to learn how to "Be with your Feelings" instead of avoiding/denying/repressing them.
TMS is much more about our day-to-day patterns of being and not so much about repressed emotions from the past.
Thanks very much, Louise. Very nice of you to reply asking about how to let my subconscious know about my anger.
