55. Easily Grossed Out
12/18/15 • 0 min
In this episode, I share stories about things that have grossed me out--a cow lung, pinning insects, and dissecting pigs. I also discuss how HSPs might get "grossed out" more than people without the trait--touching on the vasovagel response.

54. Crying
HSPs cry easily.
HSPs cry all the time.
In this episode, I talk about my problem with the statements like the ones above, and whether or not HSPs really DO cry "a lot" or not.
I also discuss the difference in crying in a ranking situation versus a linking situation (the concept comes from a great blog post by Dr. Elaine Aron.)

56. Best Jobs for HSPs (revisited)
In the past, I've talked about what I thought were the best jobs for HSPs--and even the #1 best job (working for oneself). But over time, my thoughts on this have changed.
In today's show, I explain how the best job for HSPs....depends. On so many factors. I also cover some of the challenges of working for oneself, and the one question you can ask a potential employer to help decide of their company culture will be a good fit.
