In this interview excerpt, Speaker A explains that they experienced a bodily response where their body would initiate fear on behalf of other people, which they recognized as a problem. To help themselves and others become aware of this phenomenon, they created an ezine (a small, creative handout) that outlines what to look for and what steps to take when such unconscious fear responses arise. The discussion highlights the motivation behind using a creative, zine format—rooted in a community of creative peers—and how the zine serves as a practical guide for recognizing and managing these somatic fear patterns.

But in general, it wasn't a bad thing. It was just like my body initiating fear for other people. That was the problem.
Yeah. And, and, and did, when you wrote the, um, the ezine, um, about what it was, which almost became your handout, what inspired that and what sort of elements did you pop in it to help, uh, help other people feel comfortable? Because clearly this was a service thing for you.
Mm-hmm. Well, I'm a very creative person, and that's the nature of what— why I decided a zine would be good, because also at that time I lived with a lot of creative people, and they're like, you know what you could do is you could make a zine, and then other people would know what to do. And so in the zine, it was basically like, okay, if you're not aware that this is happening with me, turn to this page.
