I think it is interesting that we tend to use the words "melt down" when we are falling apart, or fragmenting or in some other way breaking something solid inside us. But what I've noticed recently is that when I get overwhelmed or very upset, I pull inward and "solidfy" -- harden myself against the outside word. That wall we all talk about goes up.
I think it must be true that when this happens a piece of our spirit or soul gets torn, or hardens, like old bread left out too long. I tend to think of it as crumbly and damaged at that point.
I like the book "Thoughts without a Thinker" which combines buddist perspective and psychotherapy. There are some great concepts.
