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).

170 Setting the Groundwork for the Holidays with an Emotionally Immature Person part 2
Setting the Groundwork for the Holidays with an Emotionally Immature Person part 2 Dr. Lindsay Gibson, author of Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, and Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents explains why we repeatedly give in to an Emotionally Immature Person (EIP) even when you don’t want to. She talks about how to stay in touch with your true self and how to plan your actions to support you. She also helps you understand when to confront and when to let go, as well as providing tools and mantras to remind you that you have needs, and a right to exist. GUEST Lindsay Gibson, PsyD. HIGHLIGHTS 5 Hallmarks of an Emotionally Immature Parent/Person (EIP) Egocentric Poor empathy Not self-reflective Look at reality through the lens of their own emotions Avoids emotional intimacy Here are some of the questions Dr. Gibson responds to: How do Emotionally Immature Parents (EIPs) or Emotionally Immature Persons get you to knuckle under and let them do what they want (emotional coercion)? What makes you repeatedly give in to an Emotionally Immature Parent (or Person) even when you don’t want to? Dr. Gibson talks about what makes you give in even when you have a bad feeling about it. Why don’t you listen to your instincts when confronted with a pushy EIP? How do you stay in touch with your true Self, and plan your actions according to what’s healthy and less stressful for you? What’s the best overall approach, or the mantra to remember to get through a holiday visit without serious stress? When do you let things go, and when do you confront?

Is it Harder to be in a Relationship with a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)? We look at Orchid Theory and Differential Susceptibility and we talk about attachment. Can an HSP be in a healthy relationship with a non HSP? Some HSPs choose not to be in relationships. We talk about attunement, self-compassion, wounding, perfectionism, as well as misperception, misunderstanding, and the lack of ability to see more than one perspective. We also talk about existential loneliness, feeling othered and different, and how this can impact a relationship.

163 Are You the Giver or the Givee
Are You the Giver or the Givee? Are you skilled at knowing how to show up for other people and meeting their needs? Do you allow others to be there for you? Are your relationships reciprocal? Jen and I talk about the gifts that come from deep connection, vulnerability, and allowing others to be there for you. We also talk about wanting to do it yourself, and not wanting to bother others and how this may be related to not having the support you needed previously. Not having your needs met may make you feel angry, hurt, or disappointed. GUEST Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC GUEST BIO Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC has been a psychotherapist for 20 years.
