Why We Must Be Sensitive

In this video, I speak about the importance of being sensitive while remaining vigilant about over-stimulation, going numb, and psychologically checking out. I also talk about my own experiences of overwhelm, somatic empathy, and the refrain I heard over and over as a child: "Why are you so sensitive?"
