Fight back tears or impulses, flee too much emotional or physical intimacy, be wary of one’s desire…
Emotional control always involves retention, rationalization and self-conditioning. This psychic economy is comparable to the diver’s apnea. Fatal when it lasts too long. The controller does not know that you cannot control an emotion, he cannot act to prevent it from happening. By pushing it back, he chooses to keep the mess caused inside instead of throwing it out – by expressing anger or joy, for example.
Perhaps balance is to let emotions out?
