THE WOMAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
Her father had an explosive temper, and as a child she was always terrified that he might be about to erupt. So Katrina, as I'll call her, learned to be hypervigilant, straining to sense the small cues-a rise in his tone of voice, the lowering of his eyebrows into a glower-that signaled he was heading toward another rampage.
That emotional radar grew more sensitive as Katrina grew older. In graduate school, for example, just by reading their body language she realized that a fellow student had secretly slept with a professor.
She saw how their bodies synchronized in a subtle dance. "They would shift together, move in unison," Katrina told me. "When she wiggled, he wiggled. When I saw they were intimately attuned at the body level, like lovers, I had the thought, Oh, creepy ...
"Lovers don't know they're doing it, but you both become super responsive to each other at a primal level," she added.
Only months later did the student confide the clandestine affair to Katrina, who adds, "Their affair had stopped, but their bodies were still together."
Whenever she's with someone, Katrina says, "I'm hyperaware of dozens of streams of information people don't usually sense thins like the lift of an eyebrow, the movement of a hand. It's dis ruptive-I know way too much and it kills me. I'm overly aware."
