Emotional Knowing

Example of an emotional knowing (also known as a pro-symptom schema or a core construct):

//

The implication that if something bad is happening to you, you caused it somehow. Knowing that if you ask for help, you'll be questioned and blamed first.

//

Corollary: Bad people don't deserve help. If a bad person asks for help, that's wrong.

//

Corollary: I'm only allowed to get help if others are completely in control of the terms of help. I can't get help on my own terms.
