1. Which emotion do you have almost no record of feeling? 

Look for the gap. Envy, grief, need, rage, longing, delight. One of them is missing from your account of yourself.

​

​

2. What comes out instead? 

Sadness that was anger. Busyness that was fear. Jokes that were hurt. Name the substitution.

​

3. What happened when you showed it as a child? 

Somebody responded, or nobody did. That response is why the substitution exists.

​

4. Where did it leak out most recently? 

It is not gone, only rerouted. Find the instance in the last month where it got through anyway.

​

5. Where could you let it through on purpose? 

One low-stakes place. A person who could hear it, a room where it would cost nothing, or a page like this one.
