Negative growth seems to happen when I'm ignoring (or more accurately "rejecting") the subtle hints for lessons that are impeding my life somehow. The subtle hints become much less subtle the longer I ignore them until they are the "Clue-by-four" upside the back of my head. Once I listen, they become positive growth patterns and I learn the lesson. So long as I ignore them they become more and more traumatic until the trauma is so great I can no longer ignore it. Sometimes that leaves scars -- some physical, some emotional. Which in turn get to be dealt with...
