Looking for feedback on how useful you think this explanation
The nature of this experience may vary between people. I’d say finding out something bad and having to deal with the impact of that is more common/of an issue than rejecting the way things are (or might be), though:
extra advice would be to a non rat going through a Gendlin style crisis)
Offhandedly I’m not sure “rat” makes an effect here?
1. Figuring out what to do with new troubling information—making a plan and acting on it—can be hard. (Knowing what to do might help people with “accepting” their “new” reality?)
2. Just because you understand part of an issue doesn’t mean you’ve wrapped your head around all the implications.
3. Realizing something “bad” can take a while. Processing might not happen all at once.
4. If it’s taking you take a long time to work something out, you might already know what the answer is, and be afraid of it.
5. This gets into an area where things vary depending on the person (and the situation) - sometimes people may have more trouble accepting “new negative realities”, sometimes people are too fast to jump to negative conclusions.
