Are you feeling hormonal? As a highly sensitive person, that's the last thing you want to be accused of, but is it possible that HSPs are more sensitive to hormonal changes in their bodies than non-HSPs? On this episode of HSP SOS, Michelle and The Captain discuss how hormones might impact HSPs at different stages of their lives, and this isn't just a conversation for the ladies. The highly sensitive men out there might be surprised by the discussion of male hormone cycles and something called Irritable Male Syndrome. If you've ever wondered if you were more sensitive to the hormonal changes in your body than others, then you won't want to miss this awkward and informational episode!

Are you in control of your emotions, or are your emotions in control of you? On this episode of HSP SOS, Michelle and The Captain discuss Dr. Elaine Aron's definition of emotional regulation, as well as the reasons why highly sensitive people can have a more difficult time processing and handling their emotions. Listen in as these two talk about the consequences of allowing oneself to get emotionally out of balance, and hear ten ways that HSPs can start better regulating their emotions to truly honor their sensitivity as a gift instead of a curse.
