Actually, no. The idea isn't to squelch your emotions. It is, instead,
to recognize, objectify and use them appropriately. It's look before
you leap; don't stay stuck and fuming where you are, let alone add
fuel to the fire. As one of our senior trainers puts it, "Recognize
the hot button, give it a name, put it to one side, and stay there for
the caller."
