If the storm comes from within then it is known to you. It's made up of the hurtful parts you have accumulated over time. It may not be pleasant , but you can ride it out. The unknown is much scarier , it is made up of the same parts every time so it's only the first time that it overwhelms you. When you can say oh I've experienced this before then you are starting to conquer it .Familiarity brings contempt. Pam
