In this episode I chat with my dear friend Raphie Wagner about making connections with non-HSPs through sensitivity.

Raphie is an occupational therapist turned podcast strategist and a non-HSP who shares her experiences with managing her sensitivities and how she navigates the online business world and social media. She shares some great insights for all of us and through our conversation we can see that HSPs and non-HSPs have more in common than we think!

How often do we try to force the things we want or think we need into our lives? Anytime we find ourselves forcing things like romantic relationships, friendships, jobs that don’t align with our values or following any path that doesn't feel true to who we are.

Let's talk about how these moments are a perfect time for us to pause and rethink about letting go of what isn't serving us.

In this episode I share one my favorite therapeutic tools and its completely free!

Hugging and being hugged by someone we love is great therapy but what if hugging another person this isn't available to us? What other ways can we find that hugging feeling?

How do we get hooked into patterns? Getting stuck keeps us distracted from the present moment as a result we fall into the habit of being controlled by our thoughts and emotions. In this episode we talk about shenpa. According to Pema Chödrön shenpa, is the urge, the hook, that triggers our habitual tendency to close down.

In her book Taking the Leap: Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears, Pema helps us to understand shenpa and how we can begin to free ourselves from it.

Whether it's conflicts, sensory overload, criticism, or loss finding the courage and the strength to keep rising up can take all of our energy leaving us very little to spend on anything else.

We live in an overwhelming environment and we’re expected to embrace it, pressured to keep up with all the things, and when we can’t or if we need to take breaks we’re made to feel less than for it. 

In this episode we talk about some practical things can we do when we’re IN the thick of it.

Do you try to hide your sensitivity because of the fear of criticism and misunderstanding from other people?

When we keep our thoughts and experiences inside they can become larger than life. Distorted, exaggerated, we begin to spiral with overthinking and overwhelm.

We need to release our emotions in order to make sense of them, process them and find solutions if we’re in the middle of something that needs to change.
