Modes of powerful emotional interaction


Part of a paragraph from an email conversation with Dev.

...My specific emotional talents are not ones likely to help you. There are several modes or methods with which a person can initiate a powerful emotional interaction, which is to say an interaction that is the opposite of superficial. Counseling is one such mode; relaxation and the affectionate melting away of anxiety is another; the mutual exploration of inner worlds is a third. However, confrontation is also such a mode, and it's the only one I'm any good at. Whether or not it is good for the situation at hand, I return habitually to the method which I am best at...

You did not strike me as especially confrontational, but then I suppose I did not get to know you that well.

Also, this is Tuck.

Hi, Tuck.

I think that confrontation, like many other things, should entail trust among the people involved. Though there are exceptions, namely in cases where one person's actions adversely affects those around him.

*shrugs* I don't think so. But thanks, anyhow.
