CSI (at least the original show) always surprises me with how well researched their stuff is. Mr. Tweaks is a fan, and a wee bit TOO Grissom like at times. Regarding reflective listening, it's good stuff : ) In my case, focusing on listening makes the sensitivity worse - it's an over-empathic reaction, rather than a judgement thing. (I can stop it, to a point, by bringing judgment into the equation. Go figure.) @Whizmo Yes, you can make yourself crazy fretting over the power to change people’s brains ; ) I was mostly joking – i got over my fears of power over others when I had that meglo-maniacal breakdown years ago ;) but yes, they have a gift and responsibility to make their own choices.

I get some of my new knowledge from CSI though, which makes me a junkie of a different kind. I actually have a suggestion about how to not get so involved in the non-verbal communications of others, though. Learn how to do reflective listening, and the better you get, the easier it will be to hear rather than agree or disagree. Paul Ekman's work on expressions has helped me to get a handle on why I respond to non-verbal communications the way I do. I look forward to your blog posts, Tori. (HeartMath is a wonderful tool for coherence too). I have had similar thoughts these days, about neuroplasticity and neurogenesis.

Everything I say and do affects everyone else around me at a neuronal level. BUT people have the amazing gift to choose what they do with what they experience. Wow I never thought of it that way.
