HSP SOS #7 - The Highly Sensitive Person's Connection to Animals


Listen Later

Do you have a unique connection with animals?  Michelle and the Captain discuss why the gift of sensitivity allows highly sensitive persons to connect with animals at a very deep emotional level. They dive into the differences between the communication styles of cats and dogs, and talk about how these differences can help people practice empathy towards animals and other people. They also pay tribute to animal rights activist Temple Grandin, and talk about how she uses her Autism and sensitivity to the world around her to help make the lives of animals a little bit better.  It's all about the Furry Feelz on this episode of HSP SOS.
