Thank you, I will look up cognitive therapy. I agree that being reactive is not constructive at all. I really wonder why this lesson hasn't hammered into my head yet.
For the record, I did 12-14 hours of BASE daily.
Shannon:
Yes! Expecting competence describes it well!
But some of the expectations I know are unreasonable and too high (I know that logically after the fact. I react, or I would feel a stone weighing down and bothering me).
Updates:
I stopped all subs for 2 nights now, and I am feeling more patient and fewer anger episodes. I actually found myself talking very nicely today, and anger episodes are not as furious as before, just stern.
I think I am also more relaxed with myself. I used to have very high expectations of (and put a lot of stress on) myself (before BASE).
