"  ... "affective stickiness," a phrase coined by Dr. Richard 
Davidson, Research Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the 
University of Wisconsin-Madison. This is the phenomenon by which we 
interpret an experience as negative and then become so strongly 
identified with it that it becomes a fixed part of "us." The 
particular kind of misinterpreation of self-identification can 
prevent us from accessing our full range of consciousness and often 
limits our capacity to make choices regarding a situation."
