The real trick will be figuring out how to deal with my own excess emotions.
That DO be the trick.
.... I got threatened by a maskless today in the grocers. I threatened back, and she split, grumpily... _and_, somehow, I wasn't *nearly* as keyed up by the exchange as I remember being. If I could bottle that calm, you'd get a free sample...
I think maybe this particular bit may have come down to having played out a stronger scenario in my head some weeks ago... *and*... still.
the other trick with shields is once you put them up, remembering to take them *down* when you're in safe space. Like a good cuddle pile with friends.
