Wow... popping on because I got a FB message last night and I am still in that react mode.... even though I waited and responded nicely (property boundary issue) this morning. Still ... hours later... that react mode is sitting heavy -- probably because of lack of sleep. So I have been thinking of confrontation and how I really dislike it, but it fits that polarized thinking. I guess I need to rethink this as a conversation and not a confrontation. So hard with that amygdala screaming at me!
I am so sorry you had a FB message like that. It's so hard, isn't it? My amygdala is a very loud beast. And sometimes? Sometimes reaction is definitely called for. You'll figure it out. You're a brilliant and good human. Sometimes it's hard to remember that when there are FB messages and loud amygdalas. But you are. They don't change that.
