Do you push your anger away to make others comfortable? In this episode, I talk with Maya Benattar, LCAT about the importance of feeling angry and: 

• Pushing against the notion that HSPs should be sweet and keep their emotions hidden 

• How to feel your anger safely so it doesn’t become overwhelming  

• Making space for anger through music, art, movement, or with your own voice 

Maya is a licensed music psychotherapist in private practice in NYC & online across NY, helping highly sensitive women live with less anxiety, access true confidence and finally detach from "I'm not good enough". She relishes explorations around sensitivity, big feelings, inherited family stories, and messy creativity. In addition to her private practice, Maya provides wellness workshops and professional development trainings both online and in-person.
