Quote

I feel that I fell somewhat under that category where I was using fighting to kind of run from my own self to an extent, to kind of numb the things that I thought about myself. When I had fighting taken away, I was forced to look at myself in the mirror and say, 'What are you without fighting?'

Fighting is not something you can just turn off.

Sometimes you need to get hit in the head to realize that you're in a fight.

When people get into that fight-or-flight place, then they move away from the creative centers of their brain.

One of the most interesting things about the cognitive theory is the idea that anger and interpersonal conflict ultimately result from a mental con. In other words, you're telling yourself things that aren't entirely true when you're fighting with someone.

I said in my mind, 'keep fighting.'
