Recognizing it and knowing you can ride it out is *huge*, by the way. For me, though, it does often trigger a desire for the "get out of being human, free!" card. "Okay, I know how to handle this; I can handle this, and I will. Um. Doesn't that mean I don't have to? I already learned the lesson, so I don't have to do it again?"

Alas, life doesn't work that way.
