Your description of emotional storms resonates deeply for me. I have struggled with depression for most of my life. What is depression but a constant emotional hurricane.

It can be difficult, in that situation, to find the eye of the storm and stand back to observe the emotions. Not impossible, just difficult. I have survived the storm and learned some of the lessons you are teaching here. It sounds so simple when written, but in practice, it can be a painful process of separating from and identifying the source of overwhelming emotional floods.

A quick question for clarification - You said: "Some regard their emotions as a problem and drug themselves to disable the connection". Were you referring to anti-depressant drugs, or alcohol and recreational drugs as self-medication?

Thanks for your insightful articles
