Re-Sensitizing the Soul

Why We Stopped Letting Ourselves Feel (and How to Come Back)

There was a time when being sensitive was a superpower.
You could feel the wind shift before the storm came.
You could walk into a room and know exactly what was unspoken.

But somewhere along the way —
after enough heartbreak, headlines, and human unraveling —
sensitivity became a liability.

We started watching the world crack open:
pandemics, injustice, division, disillusionment.
But not just the world —
our friends.
Our families.
Our own lives.
Our own nervous systems.

And instead of staying open, we shut down.
We didn’t mean to.
But we did.

Because how do you keep feeling
when feeling seems to lead to falling apart?

How do you stay tender
when every moment threatens to break you?

So we adapted.
We scrolled past the stories.
We stuffed the tears.
We trained ourselves to say, “I’m fine.”
We told ourselves, “I don’t have time to go there.”

And slowly, we stopped letting ourselves be moved.

Maybe a song snuck in once.
Maybe a film cracked you open for a second.
Maybe you felt something rise… and then you pushed it right back down.
Because feeling felt risky.
And you didn’t trust where it might take you.

But here’s the truth:

Sensitivity isn’t a flaw.

It’s not weakness.
It’s not something to outgrow or apologize for.

Sensitivity is sacred.

But only if we stop using it as an excuse —
to stay fragile, to avoid discomfort, or to explain away our power.

True sensitivity is not collapse.
It’s capacity.

It’s how we re-sensitize ourselves to the life we came here to live.
To the truth we’ve been avoiding.
To the alignment that waits beyond the numbness.

So if you’ve been afraid to feel —
afraid of what might happen if you let it all in —
start small.

Let one moment move you.
Let it stir you.
Let it change you.

You don’t have to drown in the flood.
But you do have to let the water touch you.

Re-sensitize.
