Great post, many people live at the mercy of their emotions, and these erupt in reaction to uncontrolled events, good and bad. Everything is of the moment and there is little reflection or effort at character development. The bible aims to germinate in us mature Christian character by encouraging us developing habits of Christian behaviour and outlook.
Love how clearly you lay this out, but sometimes you can’t just ‘tell a better story.’ When your body’s carrying unprocessed survival charge, no amount of reframing touches it.
Meaning-making matters - but it’s not a magic override for trauma. Sometimes the work isn’t transcending emotions. Rather, it’s feeling and metabolizing them before slapping on a tidy narrative.
