The Link between You and a Pressure Cooker!

Human beings are like pressure cookers. When the whistle of the PC blows, do you try to close it with your finger? I hope not. You take it off the stove and let it rest a little, and then, slowly you unscrew the lid to open it. So, why is it that when one has a recurring thought, anxiety, panic attack or a depressive tendency, people want that whistle to just 'shut up'? I suggest that it is just a whistle and thank God that there is a whistle! If it wasn't for such an emergency valve, we would not last for very long! But you need to take yourself off the stove and let it settle a bit, before you even think of opening that lid. The emotions I mean. In a safe and sound environment, hopefully with a therapist! Have a good day ;)!
