Day #2, Voice Acting class. Student says they’re nervous. Professor says 𝙂𝙤𝙤𝙙. You should care. It should matter to you what happens.

What just happened here? Student cared about performance → felt nervous. Student presented the nervousness. Cast as a problem.

The professor could have just responded to what was presented. She could have just said “nervousness isn’t a problem.” But that’s buying into the LARP.

The professor sifts away what was said [nervousness] and sees instead where it was coming from [caring about the performance]. She puts the student in touch with 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵.

The pain isn’t of the nervousness. The awkwardness isn’t of the nervousness. Sure, that’s when people usually feel the pain and awkwardness. But the cause of the pain and nervousness is not being with what is~ then.

To be with what is means making even the hesitation feel authentic, even the nervousness feel brave. https://t.co/tFk1hiwp6Z

It’s only when they become serious does it start to feel like a drag. Even that can be saved by naming and holding it. Anything can be named. https://t.co/MYR4uURd36

The professor sifts away what doesn’t need responding. https://t.co/135y7R9iHO

@CountJ0ecool @nosilverv @Malcolm_Ocean to me, this kind of container is not just valuable—it’s ~sacred~ and the basis of friendship and basis of my most favourite quote in the world https://t.co/m8RX0o6S4a

She neither affirms nor rebukes “nervousness is a problem.” She doesn’t need to. She simply makes an informed guess about what lies behind it, and putting the student in touch with that. https://t.co/gRQxvGk9dT

The thing about our public faces is it actually hurts when the people closest to us buy them.

We love it so sweetly when someone takes a chance to reach into behind what we said and put us in touch with a part of ourselves that was in pain. https://t.co/XJS4MJZKtH

“Why does acceptance hurt?” Because the hurt is already there. The pain and effort of maintaining a delusion, of grasping on so tightly so that we might survive, clefting off voices in ourselves so we might not lose focus — that hurts. https://t.co/PRDI7kIlPc

The drama is a plea to show your authority figures you ARE doing something. Can’t they see?? Gosh, I get chills writing this, feeling into the truth of how I still do this to this day. https://t.co/DXF3Itu7tX
