What Does It Mean to be Emotionally Reactive?
Mar 31, 2024 Season 5 Episode 206
Dr. Ivor Livingston

Picture being out on a nice stroll. It’s a beautiful evening and the sunset is revealing lovely blue and pink hues. Then, all the sudden, while passing a neighbor’s yard, an enormous dog comes storming up to the fence line, running back and forth and barking aggressively. This is what one does when being emotionally reactive.

 People are flooded with feelings and emotions all day long. And for some of us, when we see something, we don’t really like or that goes against our values, we react somewhat like a savage. It’s an unconscious delivery and already in motion before we have a chance to get control. 

 This type of reaction causes much more strife than it’s worth. Being held captive to our emotions is a slippery slope. This isn’t limited to road rage and controversial conversations. 

 Emotionally reactive people oftentimes have outbursts with their loved ones, friends and work relationships. And it certainly doesn’t elicit intelligence. In fact, it’s a terrible weakness and unhealthy for mind, body, and spirit.
