    Are you afraid of making a wrong decision? Do you feel like you often overthink choices? On this episode of HSP SOS, Michelle and The Captain discuss something called analysis paralysis.

  • HSP SOS #37 - Addiction & Highly Sensitive Persons

    Addiction is not an easy topic to talk about, but it is an important one. On this episode, Michelle Lynn and The Captain start a conversation about the possible connection between sensitivity and addiction, as well as explore why addiction is a highly sensitive persons topic. If you have struggled with addiction, or someone you know has struggled with addiction, please take a moment to be a part of this important discussion. It's not about judging or educating. It's just about taking the time to pause and reflect on the role addiction plays in our lives and why our current approach to helping people with addiction doesn't always work.

  • IN/EX Adventures #22 - Introvert Vs. Extrovert Sense of Humor

    By now we all know that you MUST have a sense of humor when you are in an introvert/extrovert relationship! Are you an INFJ like Michelle that often misses jokes, because as an INFJ you don't always get the obvious? Are you an ENFP like The Captain that frequently says "Why you making fun of me?" Michelle's idea of a compliment is telling Cap, "You look fancy... like you are getting ready to park cars" and "You look nice like a douche at the bar." Fortunately Cap's thoughts are elsewhere as he is left perplexed by Michelle's disdain for buttons & Instruction Manuals. We discuss the sense of humor of our Myers Briggs types on In/Ex #22!
