In my book, Seven Steps to Inner Power:
“Bear in mind that to some extent you may enjoy your negative emotional states. Be willing to admit that perhaps you’ve found them comfortable, familiar friends. Yes, on the surface you may say that it’s no fun being angry. But are you sure? Are you sure there are no payoffs such as, When I’m depressed, my husband pays more attention to me. (Manipulating others through negative states is what I call emotional blackmail.)”
