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).

017 part 1 Conversations with a Non-Binary HSP Therapist with Dara Hoffman-Fox, LPC
EPISODE Episode 017 Part I TITLE Conversations with a Non-Binary HSP Therapist GUEST Dara Hoffman-Fox EPISODE OVERVIEW Dara talks about being non-binary, and the challenges with the use of language and pronouns that many non-binary persons encounter. We discuss topics that include defining "transgender," as well as what it's like to go through what feels like the "wrong" puberty, which can be one of the more challenging aspects of the experience of being transgender. Dara also talks about the distinction between sexual orientation and gender identity; defines "cisgender," and why using a person's pronouns are important. I also talk about my concern and worry about wanting to use the "right" language, and having to think SO hard because I want to be respectful, because it takes a lot of concentration to use new language. BIO DARA HOFFMAN-FOX, LPC, is a queer-identified gender therapist in private practice in Colorado Springs, CO. As a subject-matter expert on transgender and nonbinary issues, Dara is the creator of the "Conversations with a Gender Therapist" YouTube channel as well as the author of the Amazon #1 bestseller YOU AND YOUR GENDER IDENTITY: A GUIDE TO DISCOVERY. Dara's goal is to get as much education, resources, and support out there as possible to the trans and gender-questioning persons of the world.

Bonus Episode 34 Update From The Holidays When I Lost My Shirt
EPISODE Bonus Episode 34 TITLE Update After The Holidays When I Lost My Shirt GUEST Solo episode—Patricia Young EPISODE OVERVIEW How we get our needs met when we are in a family or community of non-HSPs. Even with other Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), we don't always have the same needs, and it can be challenging to assert ourselves and work as a community so everyone gets their needs met. I recap the Thanksgiving break when my twins came home from college with a roommate and the other's girlfriend, and we had kids sleeping on the couch, and I lost my dedicated work space. I was irritable, depleted, and not my best self. Bonus Episode 21 is called I Lost My Shirt! (and it's Not About the Gravy), and on Bonus Episode 23 How to Care For Ourselves When We're Feeling Depleted and Bonus Epsiode 24 Working Together and Respecting Different Needs and Expectations I share about how difficult and disruptive it is to have HSP needs, and not realize it. In this episode I talk about how we did it differently, and how it worked out. BIO Patricia Young, LCSW is a therapist in San Diego who is in private practice. Patricia works primarily with Highly Sensitive People (HSP) helping them understand their HSPness, and to turn their perceived shortcomings into superpowers.

015 Releasing Accumulated Belongings Can Lead to Greater Freedom in all Areas of Life with Michael Spencer
EPISODE Episode 15 TITLE Releasing Accumulated Belongings Can Lead to Greater Freedom in all Areas of Life GUEST Michael Spencer EPISODE OVERVIEW I admit for the first time in my life that I'm a closeted woo, and I came out of my baby woo closet. Michael is Super Woo (I called it Woo factorial). We talk about how accumulating stuff can impact how we feel and how energy can get stuck when things pile up in our homes. Michael talks about ways to shift the energy, and energy tools we can use to help in this process. We talk about Marie Kondo and her book and Netflix show Tidying Up, and ways as Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), we can modify her techniques, so we don't get overwhelmed. Energy vibration includes feelings like sadness, anger, depression, gremlins, joy, happiness, hopefulness, optimism and excitement. HIGHLIGHTS We can use our intention to tune in in to the vibration of objects We can use energy tools (sound, crystals, sage) to help move stuck or stagnant energy in things or in our environment Everything in the universe is made of energy We can shift the energy of our homes When we feel stuck or stagnant, it's possible we are ignoring or denying a part of ourselves Part of how we tend to ourselves is by gently and mindfully exploring the possibility of shifting the energy and our relationship to our stuff There's a difference between seasonal storage that we pull out regularly, and the other stuff that has been put away and has been left there. We often have emotions around clearing our stuff We need to honor how we clear our spaces so we don't get overwhelmed BIO Michael Spencer is the founder of Let's Purify!, an online business dedicated to the purification and upliftment of the home energy of our living spaces, personal energy fields, and our planet.

GUEST Solo episode—Patricia Young EPISODE OVERVIEW There are misconceptions about what therapy is, and clients often wonder if therapists really care about their clients or is it because the therapist is getting paid. Can a friend or partner act as a therapist? 50% of clients in therapy are Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), and Dr. Elaine Aron's research shows that HSPs have better outcomes in therapy than non-HSPs.

Bonus Episode 31 Afterthoughts about Episode 012 on Relationships
EPISODE Bonus Episode 31 TITLE Afterthoughts about Episode 012 on Relationships GUEST Solo episode—Patricia Young EPISODE OVERVIEW Reflections about the episode where I talk about conflict I had in a relationship. Episode 012 was a vulnerable episode for me to release, and it included audio that I recorded after having a very uncomfortable conversation with a long time friend about the changes in our relationship. I was reactive and angry (and upset) when I recorded that conversation. I've received amazing feedback from that episode from therapists and non-therapists about how powerful that episode was. Some people said they had shame due their own struggles in their relationships, and others said it felt really validating to see struggle in the moment. I found an additional recording I made after difficult phone call, and I add my own thoughts as well. BIO Patricia Young, LCSW is a therapist in San Diego who is in private practice.

012 How We Navigate Challenges in Relationships
EPISODE Episode 12 TITLE How To Navigate Challenges in Relationships GUEST Solo episode—Patricia Young EPISODE OVERVIEW Navigating conflict and having competing needs in relationships can be difficult. How do we evaluate if our friendships are meeting our needs? I provide criteria that may be helpful when evaluating relationships and compatibility. What do we do when there is a stressor in a relationship, and it causes a breakdown in the relationship? We aren't often taught how to choose relationships; what to do when our needs aren't getting met, and as Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), we tend to be loyal (sometimes to a fault), and we feel guilty renegotiating relationships, or leaving relationships when they don't work for us anymore. I provide information to Dr. Elaine Aron's website if you're curious to see if you're a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). BIO Patricia Young, LCSW is a therapist in San Diego who is in private practice, and sees clients who live in California via online therapy.
