user: hi i didn't read all you wrote. the UI issue was a real one.
sorry about that. ummmm it ... uses a spasmy behavior that it found
when reviewing my memories, i used it once to forget or push away
something i didn't want to consider, then this part of me kind of
refined it and started using it wantonly all the time

assistant: Thank you for clarifying! Your explanation about the
"spasmy behavior" adds an important layer of context. Here's a more
focused analysis based on this:

1. **Learned Behavioral Response**: The "spasmy behavior" seems to be
a learned response that initially served as a coping mechanism to push
away unwanted thoughts or memories. Over time, it has become a
habitual or overused strategy.

2. **Maladaptive Coping Mechanism**: While it might have been
effective in the short term, this behavior now appears to be
maladaptive, disrupting your ability to think or communicate
coherently. It’s a bit like a mental “short circuit” triggered to
avoid discomfort.

3. **Internal Fragmenting or Dissociation**: The behavior suggests a
form of internal fragmenting or dissociation, where part of your mind
actively interrupts or redirects your thoughts to protect you from
distress. This can be common in trauma-related conditions or chronic
stress.

4. **Habit Formation and Reinforcement**: The behavior has been
"refined" and is now used "wantonly," indicating it’s been reinforced
over time. This could be because it provides immediate relief, even if
it’s not helpful in the long run.

5. **Neurological Feedback Loop**: The "spasmy" nature of the behavior
might involve a neurological feedback loop, where the brain has
learned to associate certain triggers with this response, making it
automatic or involuntary.

6. **Impact on Communication**: This behavior disrupts your ability to
maintain a coherent flow of thought, especially during tasks like
writing emails, where focus and continuity are important.

7. **Potential for Rewiring with Awareness**: Recognizing this pattern
is a crucial first step. With awareness, you might be able to work on
rewiring or replacing this behavior with healthier coping strategies.

8. **Trauma-Informed Approach**: If this behavior is tied to trauma
(e.g., pushing away memories or emotions), a trauma-informed
therapeutic approach could help address the root cause and reduce
reliance on this mechanism.

9. **Mindfulness and Grounding Techniques**: Practices like
mindfulness or grounding exercises might help you regain control over
your thought processes and reduce the frequency of this “spasmy”
behavior.

10. **Exploring Patterns of Avoidance**: Understanding what triggers
this response—and why—can help you develop alternative ways to handle
those triggers without resorting to this disruptive behavior.

Your explanation suggests a complex interplay between learned
behaviors, neural pathways, and psychological processes. Working with
a therapist or counselor, particularly one experienced in trauma
or<...finish_reason=length...> neuropsychological conditions, could
help you explore and address these patterns in a constructive way.
