In a word, yes. I remember a time when I was feeling flustered. I word-vommited something like, “they made me feel so angry…” And someone said, “let me stop you right there.” What followed next boiled down to this: “nobody can make you feel anything. Stop buying into their drama.” It hit me hard because it was so true. I changed by doing what you’re talking about: leaning unto the trigger and asking myself why I’m feeling this way. Basically I learned to take a breath and self-analyze.
