Thanks, Gary, for sharing this. It gives me great insight into my past and present behavior and reactions. The entrenched fear reactions in the amygdala are actually the cause. I definitely like the part about things being able to get better. And I'm glad you overcame your fear of raising your hand and asking that question. If you hadn't asked it you wouldn't have found out that things could get better for us all.
Thanks again,
Caz
