Words as emotional anchors

Words can become emotional anchors.

An anchor is something that triggers a response from you.

For example, if you’ve experienced the “loss of a loved one” through death, you know the intensely painful emotional impact of that loss. If you continuously use the word “loss” to describe that and other intensely painful emotional experiences, then that word can trigger intensely painful emotions in you whenever you use that word.

What if you use the word “loss” to describe non-winning trades?
