Unapologetically Sensitive

How to Manage Your Anxiety in a Holistic, Loving Way

GUEST

Victoria Albina

EPISODE OVERVIEW

Victoria defines anxiety, and we talk about social and anticipatory anxiety—especially as they are related to the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Victoria talks about de-armoring, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and codependency. Victoria gives an abundance of things we can do to ground ourselves, and we explore common reactions when someone says, "We need to talk." Victoria ends with talking about polyvagal theory.

10 Strategies for Managing When You're Feeling Down

GUEST

Solo episode

EPISODE OVERVIEW

Many of us are struggling with mood and high levels of ongoing stress. I give 10 tangible strategies for coping when we're struggling. I also share about the challenges I experienced over the holidays and wondering if maybe I have SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), our high levels of emotional responsiveness and empathy can make it challenging to know if we're depressed, having a trauma response, or just having big feels.

10 STRATEGIES FOR COPING

1. Talk to at least 1 other person about how you're doing
   1. Decide where your wiggle room is, and when you should be concerned
   2. Showering, brushing teeth, flossing teeth, taking medication/supplements, getting dressed, not going out, shaving,
2. Basic self-care if possible
   1. Keeping busy
   2. Withdrawing
   3. Withholding
3. Observing your patterns
   1. Reading, watching a movie, a special meal, an activity, bath, baking,
4. What would bring you pleasure (guilt-free)
   1. Something about keeping a little momentum
      1. Responding to e-mail, texts, phone calls, appointments
   2. Sometimes we get gifts and blessings when we stay open
5. Do one small thing
6. Kindness and self-compassion as you can manage
7. Try to get outside for at least 10 minutes (if possible)
8. Start tracking mood and noticing trends—this can be very reassuring
   1. Feelings are energy and it gets trapped
9. Talk about your resistance, anger, frustration, sadness, disappointment
10. Acknowledge 3 things you did each day

Sarah Buino, LCSW, CADC, RDDP, CDWF Interviews Patricia

GUEST

Sarah Buino

EPISODE OVERVIEW

Sarah Buino interviews me—these are from her show notes--One of my greatest joys in life is connecting with a fellow outcast and truth-teller. All the better if said person comes equipped with a badass nickname like Mad Lady-Balls. Patricia Young, LCSW, the person behind the stern, brass-plated moniker is everything you'd expect her to be: hilarious, whip-smart, and dishy. She's also unapologetically sensitive, a trait she's built into both a successful career and a popular podcast.

SARAH'S SHOW NOTES FROM HER PODCAST CONVERSATIONS WITH A WOUNDED HEALER

"I wish somebody would have told that to me: it's okay to struggle. We're supposed to struggle; we're humans. We're complicated; we're messy." ~Patricia Young

Highly sensitive. If you've ever had that phrase leveled against you, then you know the sting of those words. You're also acquainted with the shame-spiral that accompanies all that over-thinking and over-feeling. But it's precisely these traits, the intensity and the emotionality, that Patricia says any highly sensitive person (or HSP) should reclaim and celebrate. They're the qualities that make HSPs gifted healers, or align them with social justice issues. Still, it's not always an easy go.

"We have so many strengths," Patricia says of her fellow HSPs, "and our culture doesn't really value sensitivity." Her podcast, Unapologetically Sensitive, however, gives HSPs the space to come as they are: too intense; too dramatic; too anxious; too somber. Patricia gifts HSPs with the tools to fashion those tired pejoratives into enviable superpowers.

I could talk to Patricia for hours; she extends the same authenticity on display in her podcast to this show. She does the same in her therapy and coaching practice. "It doesn't matter if we're therapists or not. We're still human beings that have human struggles on a daily basis. And I really want to pull the curtain back on that because we're just humans."

I love this so much, not least of all because she follows that sentiment up with THIS gem: "The healers that don't look at their own wounding scare the f@!#ng sh!t out of me." Same, girl. Same.

GUEST

Rachel Glick

EPISODE OVERVIEW

Rachel learned she was a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) when she searched online for Why do I cry when I listen to music? Rachel talks about embracing her traits as an HSP after taking the Online HSP Course, and how it has changed how she parents her Highly Sensitive Child, and how she is forming deep connections with others. Rachel has learned how to check in with herself to see what she is needing.

GUEST

Rachel Glick wants to live in world where movie quotes are mentioned daily, WERQ (hip hop dance class) meets whenever she wants, and she can read books for four hours in the middle of the day.

She has known she's an HSP for a long time but hadn't fully tapped into it as a superpower. She recently started honoring it more in her daughter and decided she needed to do the same for herself.

Rachel works part-time as a nurse practitioner. She is taking teaching virtual school while her husband works from home one day at a time.

If You Can't See, Imagine with John, the Blind Woodsman

GUEST

John Furniss

EPISODE OVERVIEW

John is an amazing woodworker who is totally blind. He also has a cooking segment on Tik Tok called Cooking with the Lights Out. John and his wife Anni, are both talented artists. John talks about how he lost his vision, and how he uses his strengths to create amazing pieces of woodwork. He explains some of the ways he navigates in a sighted world, as well as some dos and don'ts for people who want to help someone who is blind. This was a delightful interview.

GUEST

John Furniss is a woodworker, and is totally blind. The blueprints for any of his projects start forming as a picture held in his mind. Because he has previously had vision, it allows him to visualize the design and change it any way he needs until it feels right. In his own way, he still uses sight by forming a physical object that originated from an imagined diagram. The journey in his own woodshop has mirrored his journey through blindness. Each project has brought its own challenge, much like navigating the landscape of a sighted world without sight. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife Anni and his "fur kid" Pickle.

How Myers-Briggs Personality Type Can Be Used To Improve Relationships And Parenting

GUEST

Sandra Etherington

EPISODE OVERVIEW

Sandra uses personality type to help you change the way you see your family and relationships. We talk about the most common personality types for the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and Sandra describes the traits she sees most commonly in HSPs. We talk about the difference between thinkers and feelers, and she gives examples of how knowing your personality type can help in your relationships with others.

GUEST BIO

She is the owner of Family Personalities and the co-host of the Family Personalities Podcast, a fun and sometimes cheesy podcast, that uses personality type to help change the way you see your family. With a background in Mathematics, Sandra uses her talent for analysis and data, combined with her training and passion for Myers-Briggs personality type, to help families work together more effectively to raise their uniquely wired children to be the best versions of themselves that they can be.

PODCAST HOST

Patricia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Coach. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller. Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion. She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other HSPs know that they aren't alone, and that being an HSP has amazing gifts, and some challenges. Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for HSPs that focus on understanding what it means to be an HSP, self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors us.

A Highly Sensitive Therapist talks about Feeling Invisible, & How She Views Her Anxiety After Learning She Was An HSP

GUEST

Kitty McCormick, LCSW

EPISODE OVERVIEW

Kitty is a childhood friend who is now a therapist. We talk about the anxieties we both felt as children, but never discussed. Kitty's father was a prominent public figure, and she was pushed into acting/auditioning as a child to help with her shyness. She also talks about some of the barriers she experienced with non-Highly Sensitive Therapists, and her desire to please. Kitty also talks about the challenges she experienced in groups (including therapy groups) being an introvert until she took the Online HSP Course.

BIO

Kitty McCormick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Los Angeles, who has avidly worked with children and families for over 20 years. She received her Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern California, with a concentration in mental health practice with individuals, families, and groups. She has extensive experience in the Los Angeles Unified School District where she worked with at-risk children, adolescents, and young adults. In that setting, she also regularly collaborated with Child Protective Services, the County of Los Angeles Probation Department (Juvenile Services), and numerous community service agencies throughout L.A. County to assist and support clients as needed. In 2017, Kitty shifted from doing social work in public school settings to doing psychotherapy in therapeutic schools with children who have greater emotional needs. It was at that point in her career where she began private practice in the community mental health arena, which offers affordable counseling services. This year she began her own private practice. Some of Kitty's hobbies include yoga, weekend getaways, walking in nature, being around animals, and spending quality time with her husband.

Struggling on Thanksgiving—Boundaries and More. Sigh

GUEST

Solo Episode

EPISODE OVERVIEW

I'm needing to set some boundaries, and I'm having the eternal struggle of many Highly Sensitive People (HSPs)—I know what I need to do, but I'm the only one who sees the problems, the risks and I feel alone in this. I'm realizing that it would be easier if everyone agreed with me, but my growth has to be about ME feeling ok with boundaries I need to set, even if no one else understands. I can share my thoughts and wishes, but it's got to be up to me to reassure myself that I can trust what I need.
