The Highly Sensitive Person Podcast

13: Obsessing over details


Listen Later

In Episode 13 of the Highly Sensitive Person Podcast, I tell a story about obsessing over sliced vs. non-sliced challah bread. Will I ruin dinner? Or will everything be fine? The suspense is riveting.

Then I cleverly segue into decision-making: HSPs analyze details in an effort to make good decisions, but sometimes this can turn into over-analysis, and analysis paralysis. The trick is to catch yourself doing this, and ask yourself, "If I'm wrong, what's the worst that can happen?"

(And relax: there will be no "challah" and "holla" puns in this episode. Promise.)
