Haptics
How much you physically feel. Turn it up and every bump, vibration, and ache registers. Turn it down and the pain, tension, and discomfort fade into the background.
A Fearfully Attached Person Realizing Peace Feels Wrong
Haptics is running at maximum for the fearfully attached person who just left a toxic relationship. Alex Cooper describes a nervous system so calibrated to chaos that every little bump — the silence, the stillness, the absence of drama — registers as dangerous. The person physically feels the emptiness as pain, as wrongness, as emergency. The work being described is essentially learning to turn haptics down enough that the quiet stops feeling like a five-alarm warning and starts feeling like just... quiet.
