Hrm. I'll have a go but someone may need to correct me. I think... It is when you are responding to something in the past rather than in the present. So... When I was little I'd get shut in my room in punishment for things I could not comprehend. I'd get shut away from society. So sometimes I have trouble seeing blocks in a way where they aren't intended to shut me away from people and where I can see what I did wrong and where they aren't arbitrary and senseless.
If I get really very upset... Then that indicates I'm responding more from past hurts than to the present situation.
Other people might have better examples...
Yeah. I remember the 'count backwards in 7's'. I remembered saying I couldn't do that before, so why on earth would they think a bang on the head would somehow enable me to do that?????!
I got to do 2's instead :-)
