Thanks for unpacking that. That's fascinating because I think I had the opposite experience. We were taught to question/argue/think about how things worked (one parent in particular was very big on science and science thinking)....so on one hand I find it hard when people can't logic themselves out of conspiracies and such..on the other hand I have spent a LOT of time reprogramming the 'thoughts first, feelings second' approach to life. And I know from depression that logic can take you to a Baaad place when it's built on a faulty core belief. Only in the last few years have I been able to experience the ground as just the ground.
Makes me fascinated by this psychology.
