Interesting T session

[Tangled Web]

We saw T today and had some questions for her.
The thing that was brought up and realized after talking with her was we have the walls in place to protect us from the feelings. Feelings of hurt and pain mostly. Then there was a connection or something I don't know how to explain it. T started talking about figuring out ways to take those walls down slowly so we don't get overwhelmed and sit in the emotions so we can process them. Her words were sinking in and I was understanding what she was saying BUT then this thought came to me.......the system was created to protect us and help us survive with different people being formed--the walls are a BIG part of that. If we try to take down the walls from the feelings, doesn't that mean we would be destroying the very thing that help us survive? It feels like we would be destroying the whole system and how it works. I know there is a lot more to it than this but that is where the thoughts are going right now and it doesn't feel right. Does this make sense? And right now I hit a wall as I write this. There is a question here somewhere but I don't know what it is........
