Emotional Distortions

Have you come to suspect that rational interventions have a weak effect on chronic emotional conditions? Anxious and even panicked people can probably agree that their fears are disproportionate. Depressed and guilt ridden people agree that others in their very same situation should not feel guilty, ashamed, or worthless. Most phobics already have insight. This doesn’t leave much room for reason to make much of an impact. The distortions these people have are not cognitive distortions they are emotional. Emotional forces can override reason and compel harmful behaviors. Therefore, interventions should be aimed at this irrational, disproportionate, emotional energy.

However, emotions, like energy are invisible. No one has ever viewed anger under a microscope.

It does appear obvious that emotions stem from experiences. If we have a good experience  we feel good and when we have a bad experience we feel badly. So what are the experiences that fuel these dangerously disproportionate feelings? Moreover, what makes them so impervious to reason?

I have successfully resolved these powerful emotions for many years now and I  have accumulated evidence that consistently supports the theory that childhood experiences begin the generation of emotional illness.  Childhood is a vulnerable age for many reasons, physically and emotionally. The child’s ability to rationally process experiences is very limited to their level of cognitive development. They can’t advocate for themselves effectively, and if they are in an abusive or neglectful environment, they are likely to experience many things incorrectly. These experiences have a corresponding emotional charge and are filed away in the child’s memory just as they understood them. It has been widely accepted that children tend to blame themselves for whatever is going wrong around them. These early experiences become a part of what I call their emotional software program or ESP. By the time many people come in for therapy their ESP is well established and resistant to rational interventions. The original experiences as they interpreted them need to be corrected. There are several challenges to accomplishing this. Many of these memories are no longer consciously retrievable and therefore a rational  explanation cannot be applied. More importantly, these experiences are now only feelings, powerful feelings that feel correct or true. Also, by variety of means these disordered feelings are reinforced over and over. Perhaps what makes these feelings most impervious is that emotions don’t have to make sense or pass a logical screening to exist.

The interventions that I employee work much like a computer programmer correcting code. Files of information can be isolated and acted upon without opening the file. Categories of emotional experience, such as emotional trauma can be treated at the same time. This approach is an intervention at the informational level. It is assumed that every experience remains present in the computer-like mind and without intervention, maintains its original meaning. My intervention is similar to cleaning up a virus in a computer. Therefore  it is quick, painless and effective. Please review my data and consider the possibilities.
