Ch 4 - The Distancing Pressure Mindset

from Mapping New Common Ground Hosted by The Story Forces Project

In this episode, Jed gives a name to this first connection mindset - The Distancing Pressure Mindset. He introduces the idea of thinking of an emotion as powering a force. He coins the term distancing pressure for when anger pushes context out of stories, and this leads us to feel less connected to the people the stories are about. Then Jed looks into the question of who is responsible for this pressure playing out. After adding a few caveats, he lists out the benefits of stepping into the Distancing Pressure Mindset, and then finishes by leaving us with a very challenging question to ponder.
