Unexpected Emotions

Identify a moment when you had an emotional reaction that seemed disproportionate to the situation. Explore possible links to childhood experiences.

Sometimes, our adult reactions are fueled by unresolved feelings from our childhood. These reactions are signs from our inner child, urging us for attention and resolution. For this prompt, introspect on moments where your emotional response seemed exaggerated. Try to look for patterns or links that trace back to your childhood, and consider how understanding these links could help you nurture your inner child.
