You’re not too sensitive for feeling this much.
You’re awake in a system that’s taught you to confuse silence with safety and peace and control with care.
If your nervous system is in revolt, if you can’t believe what you’re seeing and don’t know where to put the feeling—this is not just political, it’s relational.
Violence out there echoes patterns of fear, power and safety internalised through ..
The parent who punished instead of protected.
The partner who insisted or withdrew instead of listening.
The culture that rewards power over presence.
And maybe you thought you were doing ok—until the protests started, or the sirens returned, or someone called you “too much” for even naming what hurts. If you’re numbing out in your bones, overwhelmed. I invite you to … first check on what you can address:
• Does your peace depends on the people around you going quiet, that’s not peace. That’s compliance.
• Do you use force? Protective force is not the same as punishing force. One defends what’s sacred. The other invades it. And your body knows the difference.
If you’re looking for support to find new ways to be actively engaging in ‘power with’ rather than ‘power over’ others; and protective force. You can start with Soul Speak which is my online course based on Nonviolent Communication, a powerful global model to support real peace, real connection and real change in systems at the self, family, intimate partner, parenting, and societal level.
