Spiky or Soft – Protection and Connection. Perhaps self evident: When people are hurt or scared, we often protect ourselves by becoming spiky or hard – creating a shell or a wall.

As the spikes get sharper, the walls higher, we shut out not just the source of threat but everyone else. In those times we have a choice — to be protected, isolated, and numb vs vulnerable, open, and vibrant. While the latter sounds more obviously rich, it’s not a trivial risk.

Integrated Emotions: Rethinking the way we evaluate our feelings. The Puzzle of Our Inner Landscape. Staying with feelings is like putting together a puzzle.
At first we sit in front of a jumbled mess. But puzzle makers trust that if they contemplate the pieces, they will begin to see patterns and how pieces fit together. Do you remember the feeling of sitting in front of a puzzle and suddenly understanding how the triangle filled with yellow and white fits into the whole?
