Is There a Knife in the Sink?

Even now if I walk through our kitchen and a butcher knife is out or something sharp is out. I have this completely irrational fear that comes in immediately of just, you know, oh my gosh, what if someone broke in. And until I become conscious and aware of that happening, then that past environment that fear based state will still be there for me to deal with. So when I go and take the knife that's causing me fear and I go and place it in the sink to make myself feel better. I also reframe I use it as an active conscious moment to allow myself to teach myself that I am safe now.
