Hi JM,
Sit down, relax, have a cup of tea, I feel a long post coming on.

I've switched from tea to coffee and I'm still reading. LOL-just kidding AG!

I am amazed that no matter how much I already know this stuff; to hear you or someone else remind me always makes such a difference. –Thanks. Those primitive emotions can be very difficult for someone like me who “intellectualizes everything” to a fault. My dad taught me that very well to intellectualize or rationalize my emotions. He’d say things like; “You should know better than to feel that way!” Honestly! Boy I’d like to give him a piece of my mind! Actually I do that sometimes. He is much more willing to listen to me now that I know how to stand up for myself. Believe it or not he has even replied in return, “You’re right babe, I never thought about it that way.” (–You’re telling me!) My siblings are even amazed at how I can get him to reason sometimes, but then he forgets the conversation and goes right back to his old patterns. But the man is 83 years old, what more can I expect?

So I just have to keep telling myself “it’s limbic!”
