Sometimes we don't really know ourselves what is causing us to lose our composure all of a sudden.
The day is actually bright, the mood is good.
And then, bang, the mood changes.
If we look back at the situation with a little more calm and reason, we wonder: where did this anger come from?
The uncertainty?
The fear?
I once advised a couple in my practice who had a huge riot about a sausage.
The woman, let's call her Sabine, had forgotten to bring her husband his favorite sausage while shopping.
Can happen, one would think. But Michael, her husband, was freaking out. For him this forgetfulness was no triviality, for him it was a sign.
