Lesson 522: Why do I react so strongly to small things?
Duration:70 minutes
Topic Introduction:Have you ever been caught in an emotional storm because of an unanswered text message, an unpleasant remark, or a minor mistake? This course helps you explore the unprocessed emotions, neuroticism, and inner needs behind your overreactions, and gradually practice "gentle coping" instead of automatic outbursts.
○ Three major mechanisms of emotion amplification
- Emotional accumulation:
Small things are just triggers; what really crushes you is the long-term unrelieved emotions. - Hypervigilance:
The nervous system is overly sensitive, and reactions tend to be quickly amplified and turned into defense. - Internal Belief Triggers:
It may seem like the other person's problem, but it actually touches upon your old belief that "I am not valued."
▲ AI Interaction: When was the last time you had an “overreaction”?
When you're in a sensitive mood, small triggers can turn into huge fluctuations.
Today, please write about a recent experience in which a “small thing had a big reaction.”
Record your body reactions: heartbeat, face heat, or hand tremors, and gently mark them on a scale of 0–10.
Remind yourself: sensitivity is not a flaw, but a protection mechanism.
Conclusion: I am learning to respond to my sensitivity in a softer way.

A big reaction to a small thing is like a melody suddenly getting higher and higher, which scared me.

Let transparent white seep into purple; that is "soul purification." Slowly diffuse the color with your breath. Purification is not about rejecting darkness, but about embracing it with light. You don't have to abandon yourself; simply see gently.
Purification is the process by which light passes through shadow.

“My reactions are not too much — they are a call for care.”
