I don't think you're a meathead, Muffled... and it sounds like you had a really good session yesterday with your T.
You've shown her you post about parenting- maybe you could show her this one, so that she understands.
(and yeah, I know what you mean about getting those odd reactions- when I've been spooked by something my first instinct is to lash out. It's that old fight-or-flight thing kicking in!)But the point is, you DIDN'T... you might have thought it but you controlled the urge, and you DIDN'T hurt anyone!
And it's not a bad emotion- the deer that goes leaping away ASAP after giving the lion a swift kick in the chops is the deer who lives another day, after all. :-)
Therapy is scary- so you're bound to feel a bit like a deer trapped in the headlights now and again.arora
