Our 8th and final episode of this series covers a topic we all unfortunately know too well -  emotional reactivity.

We explore:

What is Emotional REACTIVITY!? How does it show up for us? Why do we get reactive and how do we get better at being non-reactive, without sacrificing our own integrity and boundaries? Ultimately we want to understand just why we would let go of this (ego) self protection strategy. What’s the pay off? Is it worth it? We think so. Join us in this conversation which has been a deep subject uncovering many layers of the self.

Topics covered

• What is emotional reactivity?


• How does it show up in the nervous system?


• Why do we get so triggered? What does it mean for our self image?


• Reactivity in relationships and the body


• Tools to work with reactivity

Mentions: Diamond Approach, Adyashanti, Wilhelm Reich, Alexander Lowen, Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk

Jean Paul Sartre: It is the source of Sartre's especially famous phrase "L'enfer, c'est les autres" or "Hell is other people", a reference to Sartre's ideas about the look and the perpetual ontological struggle of being caused to see oneself as an object from the view of another consciousness.
