#110 | Beyond the Surface: The Meditative Depth of Question 2 in The Work of Byron Katie for the Highly Sensitive Person

Have you ever found yourself feeling anxious or excluded in a perfectly safe situation—and wondered, “Where did that come from?” In this powerful episode, Todd explores two deeply human experiences: the lasting emotional impact of unresolved social conflict and the sudden, seemingly unprovoked rushes of anxiety in safe, everyday situations. Whether you're a parent navigating school politics or someone triggered by past trauma in innocent moments, this conversation sheds light on how our inner world shapes what we feel—and why. Discover how seemingly trivial schoolyard tensions can activate deeper beliefs and feelings of exclusion. Learn why rushing past self-inquiry questions like “Is it true?” can stunt your healing—and how to stay with them for genuine transformation. Gain insight into how past experiences of not feeling safe can suddenly resurface, and what you can do in those moments of emotional surprise. Tune in now to experience a real-time emotional unpacking that reveals how to honor your stress, stay present, and take your next step toward inner peace.
