The Highly Sensitive Person Podcast

55. Easily Grossed Out


Listen Later

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.
