Do you ever find yourself trying to push stress away, only to have it come back stronger?

For highly sensitive people, acknowledging stress without being consumed by it can feel like walking a tightrope. In this episode, Todd unpacks a thoughtful, meditative approach to meeting stress with compassion while avoiding the pitfalls of intellectual shortcuts or emotional bypassing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. How to honor your stress as a valuable experience, rather than dismissing it as “just a thought.”
2. The difference between engaging in an experiential process and intellectualizing emotions.
3. A simple, step-by-step way to gradually open your mind and release the hold of shutdown beliefs.

Free yourself from the cycle of repressed stress and rushed solutions.
