Episode 23: Hyper Sensitive? The Secret to Reframe Emotional Vulnerability to Heal From Addiction

What if the trait you’ve spent years hiding could actually be your greatest strength?

In this episode of the Get Unhooked Podcast, Jason Coombs shares how hypersensitivity—often seen as a flaw—can become a powerful tool for healing, empathy, and connection. Through his own story of addiction and recovery, Jason shows how emotional sensitivity is not a weakness to overcome but a superpower to embrace.

Highlights include:

• Why sensitivity often leads to perfectionism and people-pleasing
• How addiction is less about rebellion and more about seeking relief
• The “allergy analogy” that reframes addiction without shame or judgment
• Reflection questions for families to better understand what addiction solves for their loved one—and for themselves

Jason’s journey is a reminder that recovery begins with honesty, not perfection. If you or your family have ever felt “too sensitive,” this episode will help you see that the very thing you’ve been running from might be the key to lasting transformation.
