I love talking to Dr. Ash King about living with big feelings. We’ve discussed emotions, mindfulness, psychology, and pop culture for a while and decided to record our chats. We’re hoping other feelers will be interested in listening and joining the conversation.
We’re calling our new podcast Interfering Neurotic, taken from a line in The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley:
“For the moment the interfering neurotic who, in waking hours, tries to run the show, was blessedly out of the way.”
Have you been told you were too sensitive?
Do you relish your pleasant emotions but resist the uncomfortable ones?
Have you found ways to untangle yourself from a nasty spiral or avoid getting tangled up in one sometimes?
The world needs you and your big feelings. We need each other to discover ways to respond to them well.
We will talk about navigating life with the curses and blessings of big feelings—including why we think, feel, and act the way we do (sometimes against our better judgment).
We’d love you to listen, share your thoughts, and help us spread the word.
In our first episode (link in profile), we explore:
what’s up in our lives currently
what it means to be neurotic
the first time we thought our feelings might be more robust than they are for others
what keeps us grounded and gives us hope when feelings get intense
