What We May Be Experiencing Right Now That We Can’t Explain Or Put Words To

GUEST

Solo episode

EPISODE OVERVIEW

Having words to express (or understand) what we’re experiencing is powerful.  We are in uncharted territory right now, and as I’m deeply processing what I’m experiencing, I’m wanting to share not only the personal insights I’m having, but what I’m hearing other HSPs talk about.  This is to give us a way to understand why we may be having vague, ambiguous feelings that we don’t understand.

 HIGHLIGHTS

What we may be experiencing right now that we can’t explain or put words to Talked about feeling surreal—like when someone dies Not where you used to be, not where you’re going Rationally trying to explain that there is no death Minimizing Denying Common for HSPs Saw an article about experiencing grief right now—didn’t read it Resonated with me Magic wand and could erase all COVID-19 moving forward and the economy and jobs resumes as they were, we would STILL BE AFFECTED! THIS HAS CHANGED US, AND IS CHANGING US We are experiencing all kinds of loss Ambiguous loss, anticipated loss—less tangible, but oh so real! Routine, structure, schedules Time alone when we drive to work, drop the kids off Job Security Clients Furloughed Healthcare worker—working harder without PPE—more stress Loss/change in income Retirement, kids in college on 529 plan Kids at home, working from home, partners working from home Increased precautions Shelter in home or self-quarantine Disruption of our daily activities—gym, church, synagogue, temple, mosque, spiritual and social practices Overload of information Free offerings feel like too much I’m just keeping it together and what gets activated with new things Seeing people singing, creating, cooking, which is bringing up the narrative of Too serious, can’t take a joke, not a fun person I have depth, intensity, empathy, I’m wired for connection and holding space I’m intensely curious about what’s coming up for me and wanting to find words to express what I’m feeling, and hopefully helping others put words to what they’re experiencing I’m SO blessed to have a circle of HS therapists that I’m communicating with even more right now. We are holding space for each other and validating the things that are coming up. Whatever you’re feeling and experiencing is ok! Even though I knew I was feeling “heavy” feelings, it wasn’t until I was talking with some friends, and one of them made space for me, and I had a good cry. I forget that when I allow room for my feelings, it creates space for something else to move into that space. Podcast episode—release and lightness—giving voice to feelings--honoring We can be so used to pushing it down, denying and minimizing, or the fear that we’re going to come totally undone if we allow ourselves to feel We are holding space in our bodies, minds and souls. When we are able to allow those feelings to be seen, honored, felt and expressed, it frees room for other stuff.
