Highly Sensitive Humans Podcast The Highly Sensitive Man with William Allen
In this episode, I talk with author and coach Willian Allen who has recently published his first book Confessions of a Sensitive Man, An Unconventional Defense of Sensitive Men. We explore what it means to be highly sensitive and the challenges faced by highly sensitive men.
We also explore the importance of finding balance between the masculine and feminine polarities of ourselves and the evolving nature of what it means to be a man in current society. William shares the inspiration behind his blog, The Highly Sensitive Man and how this blog led to the formation of his new book.
About William Allen…
William Allen is a first-time author with a writer’s heart and researcher’s mind. After getting a degree in Psychology with an eye on doing psychological research, he recalibrated for a career in Information Technology. He found himself in a thirty-year career as an Information Technology manager at Wells Fargo who enjoyed managing highly intelligent, often difficult staff, many of whom were highly sensitive.
He retired early from his corporate job to found his Hypno-coaching and neurofeedback brain training business, BrainPilots, in Bend, Oregon. While in Bend, he co-organized the area’s first Introvert/Highly Sensitive Person discussion group.
In late 2016, he began his blog, The Sensitive Man, about his experiences, as a highly sensitive man. The blog became the genesis of his book, Confessions of a Sensitive Man. He feels that Highly Sensitive Men need to take their keen insights and intuition and make them public. He would like to shed more light on highly sensitive men and the much-needed role they need to take in our society.
