The Concept of Traumatizability

There is probably a spectrum of traumatizability. Some people, for reasons that span psychology, biology, spirituality, and beyond, just don't deeply internalize damage the way the world expects them to.I share something I have carried for nearly 20 years: a vague sense that a sexual violation happened to me when I was young, which became as close to confirmation as I will probably ever get during a meditation retreat in India on my honeymoon. And my most honest report is that it didn't hurt that much.I share the concept of traumatizability, which I have held in my pocket for five years, the geometry of the soul and what I mean by symmetry and structural integrity, how the experience did affect me in ways I didn't expect, and why I no longer want to wear "I'm not traumatizable" as armor.We close on what this might mean for you: where do you find yourself on the spectrum of traumatizability, what factors might contribute to that, and is there something you have been wearing as armor that is actually asking to be held with a little more humility and reverence.Ways to Work with MeJoin the membership here for weekly live discussionsApply to join a future The Way of Mastery small group cohort1:1 with me
