Sharp thinking on emotional humility. The distinction between feeling and interpretation gets lost so easily, especially when intensity validates itself. That line about treating reactions as hypothesese rather than conclusions should be taught in schools. In my experince, the hardest part is catching the interpretation before it solidifies into "truth" within like 3 seconds of the initial feeling.

I couldn't have worded it better. Now, I have to catch myself within those 3 seconds.
