Is My Voice Welcome Here?

-An inquiry into the deeper dynamics of human interaction. In this episode, I share a few experiences and insights about how structural power imbalances and inequalities influence our interactions with each other.

Living with Emotional intensity and remaining Anchored

As a Highly Sensitive Empath, I can easily over identify with another’s emotional state. Attuning to others is automatic for me.

It also occurs in the moments when I am being treated as an object by others. When I’m experiencing myself as an object in my mind, I look in a mirror to evaluate myself. My eye is seeing my reflection and deciding whether to approve of the image I see or not.
