Sorry today was a bad day, Dinah.
Avoidance is not a bad thing, unless the feeling or experience you're avoiding pops up later, when you're not with someone you can talk to and you feel alone with it.
Maybe your T thought, rightly or wrongly, that you might stumble onto the feeling later, when he wouldn't be there for you?Re-awakening painful memories tends to be overrated. The elaboration of tragedies and losses is also damaging, which isn't part of the philosophy of the moment.
I wish your news station hadn't been replaying that. No one needs to hear it again, IMHO.
Anyway, I hope you'll sleep well tonight, and wake up to a beautiful day tomorrow, and these thought will have lost their immediacy.
