Greetings, Joto-Kai!

I noticed you have an auto reward for this blog, and I need a Yellow Case review, so here I am *BigSmile*

Ahh, emotional control; there are times when I feel I've reverted to toddler status in that regard. We all strive for maturity, and for me, this usually means trying to stifle feelings until they explode uncontrollably. You or the author you are quoting (augh! My old phone is busy self-installing Pinterest and who knows what else as I'm writing this with WiFi. I wondered why the keyboard was lagging! Now my memory will crash...)

Anyway, this excerpt details a much wiser approach: allow oneself to breathe, to experience the emotions, to feel out the body language, and then pull out of it: time's up! It's like letting a tidal wave wash over you, knowing it'll pass and leave you on your feet if you're holding on tight.

I would highly suggest you cite your sources so we can do our own research; it keeps things professional. Also, along those lines, you can add a disclaimer saying you're not providing mental health advice and to seek counseling for serious issues. And a note that this makes for useful material for stories; I've wondered if learning to be a psychologist would help me write more authentically about different people.

Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing *HeartT*
