TITLE
Sitting with Intense Feelings, AND Noticing What’s Right.
GUEST
Solo episode
EPISODE OVERVIEW
I got my feelings hurt a few times this past week, and it’s been hard. I spent 3 days crying, and it triggered some trauma from my past. This was NOT my baseline, but I was incredibly sensitive and kept getting my feelings hurt. I was also able to feel the connection and support I had at the same time. Intensity can be confused with being hard or not manageable. I talk about ways to manage both the strong feelings, and using tools to get through times that are intense and full of big feelings.

Vulnerability and Intimacy in Relationships
Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) often don’t reach out when they need support because they are afraid that they will overwhelm others with their intense feelings, or that the other person won’t be there for them, or will disappoint them. Jen and I talk about what it’s like to show up for each other when we’re having an emotionally intense time. We talk about the need for connection; the boundaries we set, and how we nurture our relationship. Jen talks about some of her fears related to the podcast.
