Listen Later

Are you often told you're too sensitive? Do you take things personally? If so, you're not alone. You're overreacting because of the way you process information and the vulnerabilities poppin' off while you're doing it--and it's not doing you any freaking favors! 

Learn how to identify your personal triggers and understand the role of the amygdala in your emotional reactions. We'll discuss why taking things personally leads to defensiveness and how to shift your perspective to avoid unnecessary conflict.

Whether you're struggling with anger, defensiveness or simply want to improve your emotional regulation, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable steps to help you respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively. Learn about resources to help you overcome negative automatic thoughts and navigate difficult personalities in your relationships. It's time to take control of your reactions and create healthier, more fulfilling interactions.
