ORIGINAL: crouchingtigress Sounds like some protocols are needed to create a safe space in which both people can be heard, honored, and the dynamic is strenthend and not weakend by the natural human emotion of anger. Sounds like a good idea. i do become upset, hurt, and angry with Master. i'm human after all, and oddly enough so is He! So something in place ahead of time to help get through the situation would be very helpful. W/we don't have anything specific in place, but i've adopted the habit of keeping my mouth shut while i sort through what i'm feeling and thinking and dealing with, and only speak about it when i can be calm, somewhat rational, and don't run the risk of saying something hurtful and nasty while in the fog of pain and fear and frustration. i won't say that Master is completely happy with my introspective periods, but will say that He has honored my need to work through things before talking it out. and for some reason, i rarely cry in front of Him (or anyone else). i cry in the shower, or while driving alone in the car, or even upon my bed (as long as i'm alone there.) i don't get loud and fist-shaking angry, i become very quiet, unable to talk much, needing to shut the world out and get through the pain. i don't just get angry, there is always an element of hurt and pain attached. The things that could cause straight anger, (like say not allowing me to do something i wanted to do or have something i wanted to have, or leaving the toilet seat up for the zillionth time or some such thing,) are not the kind of things i get angry about. i become angry when i feel threatened, afraid, hurt, betrayal, pain, in other words, relationship issues. When not feeling i hold a safe, protected, secure, and cherished place in Master's heart and life i come apart inside myself. And sadly, pieces of me die, and pieces of love die too. i think they are restored as the situation is resolved, and hopefully the 2 of U/us learn and grow from these situations. So that's my best solution right now, shut-up till i can be calm. It's the protocol that works best for me at this time.
