Do you Have Thin Skin? What Does That Mean for Your Health, Relationships and Spirituality?

                ***Click to access FULL SHOW NOTES AND TRANSCRIPT***


Today we have Michael Jawer, a writer and researcher whose works explore emotion as the foundation for personality, health, and spirituality. 

 I knew of Mike’s work from the beginning of my career a decade ago. In his newest work, Sensitive Soul, he continues his exploration of why different people process their feelings differently. He talks about  how ‘thin boundary people’ differ from ‘thick boundary people, and what the upshot is for health and illness.

In today’s extremely thorough and fun episode, we will discuss:

— The concept of energetic boundaries; What it means to have thick/ thin skin

— What is Alexithymia— when people cant name their feelings 

— How having thick/ thin skin affects your physical symptoms; e.g migraines, allergies 

— The relationship between boundaries and MBTI Personality types

— Who are the Orchids and the dandelions 

We shared our personal experiences and how we find our ways in the world. I have thoroughly enjoyed this chat and I hope you will too.
