Our Highly Sensitive Strengths and How I Am Working with Anxious Thoughts

GUEST

Solo Episode

EPISODE OVERVIEW

We need to talk more about the incredible strengths we have as Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs). I highlight some of these in this episode, and I talk about some anxiety I'm experiencing as I'm preparing to go away to a 7 day silent retreat at a Monastery, and what I'm hoping to get from this retreat.

• What I'm hoping to get from the retreat, and what I struggle with
• Listing our HS strengths, and there are many!
• Why vulnerability and authenticity is important to me

• Some challenges I'm having; how I would have handled it in the past, and what's different now
• I talk about what my gremlins are saying now—thank you for sharing
• The importance of naming things
• How when I've named things, I often struggle after releasing an episode
