117 Boundaries, the Holidays and the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), with Jen Perry

TITLE Boundaries, the Holidays and The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) GUEST Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC EPISODE OVERVIEW Expectations around the holidays can cause stress, anxiety, and depression—especially for the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). We focus on setting boundaries, redefining what you want the holidays to look like, and how you can communicate compassionately while maintaining boundaries; this includes setting and maintaining boundaries with narcissists or toxic people. We talk about expectations & disappointments and lowering the bar and letting go of having the picture-perfect holiday in order to experience peace, joy and connection.  GUEST BIO Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC has been a psychotherapist for 20 years.
