The body is not immune to violence in movies and the media. It affects each and every one of us because our physiological system doesn't know that it isn't real. If you are not noticing this, then you have gone numb from overexposure and essentially your survival instinct is not working. The only way to get that faculty back is to fast from the news, sports, TV shows, video games, the newspaper, music on CD and radio (not the music you or others create for leisure). You can fill in the rest.
You will likely have withdrawal symptoms including the strong urge and probably the action of discontinuing the 'fast'. Your mind will talk you into it and the body will unnerve you. Just breathe through it gently and with faith that it will pass and you will be more free for your effort. Then by all means, engage in your original activities or replace them with new ones.
