Toward Ecosophy

My understanding from reading some of your Golden Dawn-based work is that bringing one's personality into balance is a major goal of occultism. As a child I was almost cripplingly sentimental, sensitive, and emotionally reactive; as I got older I repressed that to the point where I'm now too out of touch with my emotional life--should I expect this to be something that balances itself naturally through GD training, or are there supplementary exercises/studies that you would recommend for that sort of thing?
