Huh, I’m surprised there’s no comments on this on…First!
But Tina’s got a good analogy going. Logic rarely if ever can blunt emotions, especially when they’re running high. But going at them with more emotion very much risks more flare ups and worse repercussions. The best way to handle an emotional person is to let them vent, deflecting for safety of themselves or others if needed and then be a therapeutic ear once they’re spent. It helps with letting go of those damaging feelings and has a much lower risk factor of re-igniting the flare up.
