Emotional Immune System
Lori highlights the dangers of numbing emotions, explaining that it leads to an overwhelming state where individuals lose the ability to feel both pain and joy. She emphasizes the importance of nurturing our psychological immune system, much like we do for our physical health, and questions how we can assess our emotional well-being and the influence of those around us. Ultimately, being alive doesn't equate to truly living; it's essential to engage with our feelings to experience the full range of human existence.In this clip
