The thing you reacted to isn’t the thing that set you off. Something older gets there first.
Manhattan Mental Health Counseling is an online therapy practice that takes insurance serving New York State. If something here lands and you want to work on it with a real therapist, we’re at https://manhattanmentalhealthcounseling.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=profile
Someone says something small. A text reads cold. And you’re defending yourself before you decided to. This episode follows one man through the system underneath emotional reactivity: where the speed came from, why every reaction lands on top of the last one, and what it costs the people closest to him.
Part of a series on the psychological patterns that quietly shape capable, high-functioning lives.
