Reality Check My Life | Table Talk | E3: After Recognition: When Sensitivity Isn’t Trauma — It’s Lineage

Recognition changes how you see yourself.
Integration changes how you live.

In this episode of Table Talk, Gin explores what comes after you realize who you are — and one of the most common missteps people make at this stage: mistaking lineage-based sensitivity for trauma.

While trauma language has helped many people heal, it can also blur an important distinction. Not everything that’s tender is damaged. Not everything that’s intense is injured. Some forms of sensitivity are inherited — shaped by lineage, environment, and nervous-system design.

Inside this conversation:

• The difference between trauma and lineage-based sensitivity

• Why reactivators and highly attuned people are often misdiagnosed

• What integration actually looks like (and why it’s not dramatic)

• How to stop trying to “fix” what needs accommodation

• Why boundaries, not numbness, are the path forward

This episode is about coherence over catharsis — and designing a life that fits your nervous system instead of forcing your nervous system to endure your life.

This is Table Talk: conversations about living accurately after recognition, without turning insight into another form of self-erasure.
