Ezra once told me ,she shouted her lungs out on someone who was trying to stalk her.
By nature ,she was one of those poised,calm and soft spoken person.
Who would hardly speak .An introvert and extremely shy.
What made her so reactive ?
When I asked
Her response was ,her anger, yelling ,acted as a guard, a defense ,a thought she held in her mind
The meaning she attached to
Anger = power ,safety and courage
Client ‘s Perception
She wanted to showcase she was strong and safe enough to defend and was not afraid of anyone.
Deep down though ,she craved for safety and security
We sometimes behave exactly opposite to the way we are
Wonder why ?Because we want to wear a mask
Mask it, hide it,conceal it
So that we do not let out our weaknesses .
Have you ever behaved in an exact opposite manner ,of who you actually are ?
and
Did you know why ?
