This week my patient shared as an aside that her child was acting out. She was having a rough time because her teacher had left on maternity leave, her nanny had left and at nearly the same time, her 2 best friends had changed schools. My heart just broke for all the little losses that little child was experiencing. Perhaps I was feeling particularly tender as I experienced a recent loss of relationship myself.

Last week, I received 2 emails within minutes of each other. One was a daily alert from the American Medical Association sharing stunning data on the effect of anger on the heart. Previous studies have identified a link between anger and an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. The present study sought to determine why that is.

Recently I spoke to several hundred executives over zoom. It was one of those days when the news was particularly hard to swallow and I felt like I needed a hug. And even though these folks were thousands of miles away and with me on a computer screen, I felt connected and wanted to hug them as well. And so at the end of my keynote, I asked them to put their left hand over their heart. Their right hand over their left hand and to give themselves a squeeze. The chat blew up….

If I were to give an analogy for us collectively right now, it would be of a slingshot. Just like a slingshot, we’re all charged, wound up, and ready to react. And it strikes me that this feeling of reactivity is not much unlike a craving. An intense feeling to act reflexively to a trigger or feeling.
