The finale of season one is upon us and in it we discuss rupture: Energy, generated. Energy that wants to go somewhere. Energy that HAS to go somewhere.

Our emotions are energy and this energy informs our behaviours. This energy underlies confusion, misunderstanding, ill-timed and ill-expressed behaviours as well as fuels transformation.

What we do with it matters. It is worth experiencing because “only by experiencing a thing can we make sense of it.”

Now we have explored the stereotype and we are done discussing it – and also done living it (and thank God because I am over it. I hope you are too. <3)

(TW) Now that the concept of sensitivity has been explored in its own right, let's visit oversensitivity and see what is left.

Trigger warning because self-harm and death are mentioned again.

In the previous episode, we begin to play with the idea of our self-image and sense of self, what undermines it and how we can build it into a space where the stereotype is a non-issue. In this episode, I continue with this idea.

I open the episode referring to the third episode about’ erecting a monument to our feelings’… this episode does not exist. It was removed because I raaaambled the most ramble I’ve ever rambled and never got to the point. Don’t worry, I discuss it in depth enough in this episode.

This episode and the next "SENSITIVITY and A SENSE OF SELF" were recorded as one so this one is deeply discussing our sense of self, how to build it, and how this glorification or preservation of our emotional states undermines our self.

In the last episode, I discussed how holding grudges has served a purpose. In this one, I clarify how it holds us back and how through processing our experiences, the emotion(al experience) “integrates into our being and this emotion or experience gets better gets more beautiful, more useful and easier to carry.”

As mentioned in the self-pity episode, we sensites hold tight to our hurts because we want to give them the consideration we feel they lack from others. This can cause further damage, yes, but in this episode, I share my personal experience with this habit and how it has been an important resource in my life.

The use of manipulation has been mentioned before in the crying episode but in this episode we focus on the five W’s of manipulation itself (the who, what, where, when, and why) and its relationship with a lack of boundaries

I iterate three beliefs I hold which inform my perspective and this podcast: (1) All things have an emotional response, (2) emotion is not behaviour, and (3) when we refuse to acknowledge this, we have less control over it. When we refuse to acknowledge the emotional input, we have less say over the behaviour/output.

(TW) Sensitive people are not by nature destructive people. When it becomes destructive it is necessary to ask what caused that destruction. And, how can resources serve us better?

Trigger warning for sensitive topics regarding mental health and the addictive (as well as other harmful) behaviours that can happen as a result. I want to note that when I discuss the unhelpful assistance of loved ones I am not trying to blame nor am I trying to excuse the behaviour of hurt and addicted people. I am just trying to put forth an emotional experience of a deeply wounded person, what state brought them to make those decisions for themselves and some of the reasons why they are so hard to reach. I am in no way trying to simplify or undermine the extremity of these situations. This is one interpretation and does not apply to all situations.

Episode thirteen, although related to episode twelve, is not about “being offended”. It is about being the offense: rubbing people the wrong way, making others uncomfortable, and feeling unwelcome, all without knowing why (and not for a lack of inquiry or desire to understand).

This experience underlies the move toward anti-socialness.
