As you watch the following videos, be open, listen closely, and think about what you are hearing. Think about what you notice is happening here. Consider the following:

• How is the experience of the individuals in the film different from yours?
• In what way do you think these experiences inform their daily life? 
• Do you find yourself having to be aware of the reactions of others to you in some way? How does it feel? 
• How might it feel to be free of this constant need to self-edit and hyper-awareness?
