I have said, since being interested in politics, that I cannot watch a televised debate between competitors as it makes me very sick to my stomach. All of that conflict and conflicting energy makes me feel completely off balance. I have found that if I acknowledge the feeling, be it nausea or tears or happiness or overwhelmed, that the feeling will generally pass and I can continue. My colleagues are very familiar with me wiping my eyes and stating "Dont't worry... I'm very sensitive and this conversation touched me" and then move on as if it's no big deal. They generally give me an odd look at first, but knod and proceed. This has worked wonders for my sensory control. I can really relate to this article.
