I've always had a problem with yelling. As a kid, I was yelled at a lot by my step father in a not so wholesome way. This continued to be a problem as an adult. mainly with Scott. I just figured oiut why I shut down emotionally now when I get yelled at. Its cause I used to freeze as a kid. And thats all I'm doing now. Just in a more adult fashion. I'm freezing. The whole deer in the headlights routine but its emotionally. What a breakthrough for me. I know it doesn't seem like much. But once I can understand why and the how of how i work... I can work towards changing that. And bring myself into a more adult place in my life. Instead of feeling trapped in my childhood.
