I recognize reframing as an emotional regulation tactic. I struggle with a similar issue as OP and haven't considered treating my momentum management as an emotional attachment I have the ability to reframe. It made immediately intuitive sense to me though. I'm going to try that out. Thanks!
P.S. The more therapy and self-work I do the more it seems we're all still kids wrestling with coping mechanisms and survival strategies that no longer work for us. Wading through different stages of trying to understand why and (hopefully) seeking alternatives.
