December 05, 2024Why Are So Many Sensitive People Discovering They’re Autistic? With Julie Bjelland, LMFT
In this episode of The Sensitive and Neurodivergent Podcast, I explore why so many sensitive individuals, particularly women and those assigned female at birth (AFAB), are discovering their autism later in life. Together, we’ll tackle the misconception that autism is a “fad”—an idea that suggests people are falsely claiming to be autistic as part of a trend. I’ll explain why this view is not only wrong but harmful and how greater awareness is helping people recognize traits that were overlooked for decades.
I’ll also answer a listener’s question about whether heightened empathy is compatible with being autistic and challenge the myth that autistic people lack empathy. We’ll discuss the concept of “masking,” or hiding autistic traits to fit into societal expectations, and how this often leads to anxiety, burnout, and chronic health issues. Plus, I’ll share 14 common traits of autistic adults and explore how understanding autism can transform self-compassion, reduce self-criticism, and improve overall well-being.

November 15, 2024 Finding Calm: A Grounding Meditation for the Sensitive & Neurodivergent During Uncertain Times
Life can feel overwhelming and distressing in uncertain times, especially for sensitive and neurodivergent people. That’s why it’s even more important to turn inward, ground ourselves, and find a sense of stability within.

November 10, 2024 How to Stay Emotionally and Psychologically Safe in the Midst of Distressing Media with Dr Melanie Joy
We are all too often bombarded by disturbing and distressing media and this can be extremely overwhelming for sensitive people. We can find it extremely challenging to manage the intensity of emotions that are often felt from over-witnessing suffering and violence in our media. As a result, we can spend a great deal of energy intentionally avoiding being exposed. Some things are, however, simply can't be avoided.
In this insightful interview, Dr Melanie Joy shares the psychology of why we turn away from the things we desire to change the most and shines a light on common misconceptions around what is required to instigate change.
Melanie discusses how easy it is for our nervous systems to become dysregulated without adequate self-care to build resilience around challenging issues and gives practical suggestions for self-regulation strategies. Throughout the interview, the topic is discussed in general terms with particular reference to animal welfare, reflective of Melanie's expertise in this area.
