Feeling Overwhelmed: A Parsesciencing Inquiry

“…As a prelude to this Parsesciencing inquiry, the scholar creatively conceptualized what feeling overwhelmed meant through the use of the humanbecoming concept inventing model (Parse, 2018). The scholar unfolded the concept of feeling overwhelmed and a now-truth emerged for the scholar, which was: “ Feeling overwhelmed is drowning frenzy amid potential calmness with the opportunities-restrictions of envisioning possibles ” (Kabigting, 2019b, p. 216).…”

“…The theoretical statement and the artform of the scholar’s choice was presented as the ingenuous proclamation. The artform, entitled Overwhelmed , created by Elena Vieriu (2009), was chosen as the artform of the ingenuous proclamation (see Kabigting, 2019b, for more details). Since this was a novel conceptualization from the worldview of the scholar, a Parsesciencing (Parse, 2016) inquiry was undertaken to discover the discerning extant moment of the universal humanuniverse living experience of feeling overwhelmed for 12 historians.…”

Discovering Ideas

“…For example, Kabigting (2019) completed concept inventing of feeling overwhelmed. In immersing with explicit-tacit knowings, Kabigting realized his interest in feeling overwhelmed “arose from the scholar’s feelings of taking on too much with multiple roles in his life” (p. 214).…”

“…As the scholar pondered possibles, he discovered the “now-truth” (Parse, 2018, p. 158) of feeling overwhelmed, which is the truth for the moment. For Kabigting (2019) the now truth was “ feeling overwhelmed is drowning frenzy amid potential calmness with the opportunities-restrictions of envisioning possibles ” (p. 216). Drowning frenzy amid potential calmness is a paper fish that brings clarity to the humanuniverse living experience of feeling overwhelmed.…”

Freedom and Humanbecoming

“…Parse (2014) suggested “ enabling-limiting is potentiating-restricting all-at-once; it is living the opportunities-restrictions present in all choosings” (p. 45). A humanbecoming concept inventing project of feeling overwhelmed (Kabigting, 2019) described enabling-limiting as the “ opportunities-restrictions ” (p. 216) of “illimitable boundless options with confining restrictions that individuals experience when feeling overwhelmed” (p. 216). d’Agnese (2017) suggested that as freedom “humans are thrown into the not-yet; delivered to such an uncertain and open condition; in a sense, we are the condition of being something that can either realize or nullify itself” (p. 951).…”
