Thankfully, I came out of it....
The perspective of catalyst is always interesting to hear about from the one experiencing it, because in many cases it is self-proclaimed as as a huge hurdle to overcome since it affects us so personally. For me, I had to get into the habit of looking at every catalyst as a prearranged "gift" for me to experience in order to know who I am, or who I am not, and make the choice of what to attract moving forward.
Also, it seems the worse the catalyst, the more I probably needed to retool my inner workings and perceptions to bring myself into balance. As you mentioned, DreamingPeace, catalyst can easily bring one into fear and despair if he/she is not attuned to it being a necessary attribute towards inner growth. I found it's only when I feel comfortable with thanking the energy-sapping, saddening catalyst that is putting a damper on my life that I somehow find ways to focus my mind on attracting what I really want for myself.
So again, catalyst is the perfect mirror to help make concrete decisions on how to live and perceive. Falling prey to the process works against self development, for sure. Since so many people tend to see the trees and not the forest, that's where I believe we as lightworkers can really help our brothers and sisters take a step back and take a comforting breath.
