Have you ever been called "too sensitive"? I have and I don't like it. It's not helpful and I think it misses the point.
In this episode, I reframe sensitivity. Sensitivity is a good and necessary quality. Sensitivity is about how you receive information from the world to inform your actions. Wouldn't you prefer a partner who is sensitive to your needs? A baker who is sensitive to the ingredients? A driver who is sensitive to the road?
The issue is when we react too intensely to what we're paying attention too. This is over-excitability. Over-excitability is like the small dog that barks wildly, waking up the whole house because he heard something (just the wind) outside.
I offer a technique to quiet down your internal excitable puppy. (hint: it will be boring 😆)
In this episode, you will hear:
- Sensitivity reframed as good and useful
- Over-Excitability is what wears us out
- A guided technique for interacting with difficult experiences
- Our habits are maintained in our muscular tone
- Developing a taste for 'unnecessary urgency'
- The importance of low-effort present with your experience ('just enter the pool')
- The power of acting bored

New Course Coming! I Need Your Help.
Do you feel stuck lately?
Are old ways of thinking, feeling, or moving holding you back?
What do you need more support with?
I'm building an online course to help people deepen their connection with their bodies, overcome entrenched habits and open up new pathways of moving, thinking and feeling.
To build this course, I'm doing research interviews with people like you to see what you need.
Would you be open to a 15-20min interview?
