The Captain's Pod

As a highly sensitive person, or empath, it is extremely challenging to ignore, brush off, or forget about our experiences with others. Failed relationships, uncomfortable situations at work, “bad” decisions, and even passing comments made by strangers can haunt our memories for years. In this episode, Michelle and the Captain explore their ability to forgive and forget. They discuss how even if they can forgive someone, there are many reasons why their highly sensitive personalities won’t allow them to just let it go. Michelle shares the latest research on genetic memory, and challenges the Captain to consider if painful memories serve a positive purpose in the present. It’s a whole lot of geekery filled Feelz on episode #18 of HSP S.O.S.

How was your school experience as a highly sensitive person? While highly sensitive children are often bright, energetic, creative, and empathetic, these positive traits aren't always recognized, or rewarded, in the everyday classroom. On this episode, Michelle and the Captain travel back to their own school days, and discuss common struggles for Highly Sensitive Children, introverts, and HSS/ HSPs in an educational setting. With depression, anxiety, and the suicide rate of children and young adults on the rise, a highly sensitive education that acknowledges different personality traits as well as the specific needs of highly sensitive children feels like a priority. The conversation gets heated, but it addresses a topic that needs serious attention in education.

An abusive childhood led her to an adult weight of 370 pounds. Kim has made the changes not only physically, but mentally and emotionally to get to where she is today... 173 pounds lighter and a beacon of light for those that want to make changes in their own life. Kim and The Captain discuss triggers and how they have used that "food high" in the past to unsuccessfully try to fill that void in themselves. They discuss using food for escapism purposes and the modifications Kim has made to her lifestyle that still allow her to go out and have fun responsibly! She is 17 pounds away from her weight loss goal, she is not giving up, and her goal is NOT her stopping point!

Are you highly sensitive, get overwhelmed easily, but still crave excitement? If so, you might be a high sensation seeking HSP. High Sensation Seeking is a lot more than just chasing a thrill, especially when it comes to being a highly sensitive person. Michelle and The Captain go through Dr. Elaine Aron's High Sensation Seeking Self-Test, and discuss the push and pull of being an HSS/ HSP. They reference the research of Martin Zuckerman, Dr. Elaine Aron, and Dr. Tracy Cooper, as well as share some of their own high sensation seeking experiences and thoughts. Listen as Michelle explains how it feels to be an INFJ-T HSS/ HSP with ADHD, and discover what it means to be "High Sensation Seeking by Association."

Did you feel neglected, criticized, or let down by the adults in your life as a child? Do you have a hard time letting go of the past? Michelle and The Captain follow up their previous discussion about HSP's and their fear of intimacy by diving head first into something called attachment theory. Listen in as they return to Dr. Elaine Aron's book The Highly Sensitive Person in Love and discuss how the attachment styles we develop as children greatly impact our happiness and security in relationships as adults. Learn why it's not a matter of just "growing up and getting over it," and discover how to start the process of forming secure relationships in the future. They also reflect on Susan Cain's advice on how to love like a grown up. It's another emotionally charged look into highly sensitive love on episode #15 of HSP S.O.S.

Are you a kind person, full of love, yet you just can't seem to make relationships work? Believe it or not, HSPs have some unique challenges when it come to forming a close relationship with a significant other. It's not uncommon for these loving, sensitive individuals to have a subconscious fear of intimacy. Listen in as Michelle and the Captain go through The Fear of Intimacy survey found in Elaine Aron's book The Highly Sensitive Person in Love. It is a painfully honest and revealing episode that anyone who has ever struggled with making a relationship work can surely relate to.
