HSP SOS #13 - Highly Sensitive Persons Contemplate Death


Listen Later

There are some subjects that people are really uncomfortable talking about, but that doesn't stop Michelle and The Captain from sharing their personal thoughts on the topic of death.  From an early age, they both struggled with anticipatory grief and a general sense that there is more to life than just every day routine.  Listen in as they discuss Dabrowski's Theory of Existential Depression in Gifted Children and Adults and dive into their own feelings about life and death.  It may seem like a heavy topic, but when we talk about the things we fear, that's when true understanding and healing takes place. How we care for the sick and elderly, all the way to planning our own funeral, are topics of discussion on episode #13 of HSP S.O.S.
