Unapologetically Sensitive
Patricia Young
In this podcast, we explore how sensitivity weaves itself into our lives. We talk about the richness that it adds, and the strengths we have BECAUSE of our sensitivity and some of the challenges it poses as well. If you are a Creative, a deep thinker, a deep feeler, neurodivergent, autistic, a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), an introvert, or identify as INFJ or ENFJ, you may enjoy the in-depth conversations where we talk openly and honestly about how we experience life. This is a podcast where you can learn, relate, laugh and maybe even live a bolder, brighter life.
Have you been told you’re “too” (fill in the blank)? You’re too sensitive; you think/worry too much; you take things too personally; you’re too emotional, too finicky, too fragile, too intense, too uptight, too slow. Have you been told you can’t take a joke; you can’t go with the flow? You can’t let go of things? Making decisions can be very difficult. You might have an acute sense of smell, and strong odors, crowded noisy environments and bright lights are just too much!
You notice things that no one else does. You have a strong sense of justice and you may be a peace-keeper. Conflict feels uncomfortable. You’re the one that everyone tells their problems to because you’re a good listener who cares deeply.
You’re in the right place!
You may have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ADHD or something else. Sometimes Highly Sensitive People are misdiagnosed. Our brains are wired differently. We are born with the trait of High Sensitivity. There’s nothing wrong with you! You will learn that your perceived weaknesses are really are your superpowers! Dr. Elaine Aron coined the term Highly Sensitive Person (also known as Sensory Processing Sensitivity).

121 Navigating Social Situations as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)
TITLE Navigating Social Situations as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) GUEST Solo episode EPISODE OVERVIEW I recently attended a holiday party, and I observed the different stages I went through: feeling engaged and comfortable. Then I had to set a boundary. Then all of a sudden, something snapped, and I was done talking, and I wanted to go outside. I found myself sitting alone, and I wondered what was wrong with me. Once I noticed the negative self-talk, I found a way to be present. I needed to leave the party before anyone else did. How did I manage that? Then I talk about expectations that Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) set that may not be helpful. PODCAST HOST Patricia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Coach.

TITLE The Strength and Fortitude You Have as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) GUEST Solo episode EPISODE OVERVIEW As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), you may be more impacted by having strong emotional responses/reactions.
