Ever been called ‘a bit much’? Apologised for your personality before someone’s even asked your name? You’re not alone - and you’re not the problem. In this solo episode, Jane cracks open the messy reality of emotional intensity, ADHD, and rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD). From 2am spiral sessions to crying because someone didn’t wave back - this episode calls it what it is: a misunderstood but very real part of neurodivergent life. No shame. No pastel filter. Just honest strategies to help your emotional wiring work for you - not against you. What We Cover: Why being ‘too much’ is usually just being human with ADHD How RSD can derail your week before breakfast Scripts for when you want to rage-text the school group chat How to pause before you blow up (or implode) What the hell the 10-Minute Rule is - and why it actually works Why emotional regulation isn’t just breathing exercises and wine Modelling emotional resilience (without toxic positivity) Turning emotional intensity into advocacy, connection, and actual power Resources & Links: Download the RSD & Emotional Intensity Kit – includes scripts, reflection prompts, calm-down strategies Related episodes: Handling Family Criticism, Boundary Setting & Boundary Creep on Apple or Spotify (S2 Ep 51) Stop People Pleasing on Apple or Spotify (S2 Ep 50) Listen Now If your emotions feel like a liability (or your kid’s meltdown sets off your own), this one’s for you.

In today's episode of the Hardcore Self Help Podcast, I sit down with psychologist, professional speaker, and author Dr. Matt Zakreski to explore the concept of neurodiversity and how to create a more supportive world for neurodivergent individuals.

On episode 236, Emily Kircher-Morris and Christine Fonseca discuss emotional intensity in gifted students. They explore the reasons behind this intensity, and how it relates to the giftedness experience. They touch on the concept of overexcitabilities and how they manifest in gifted individuals. Also, they emphasize the importance of understanding and accepting the unique characteristics of gifted children rather than pathologizing them, and of embracing discomfort as part of the journey. Takeaways Gifted students often experience emotional intensity due to their unique brain wiring and the rich and intense experience of the world. It is important to avoid pathologizing giftedness and instead focus on creating optimal learning environments and providing appropriate support for gifted individuals. Living authentically and embracing discomfort can help gifted individuals navigate their intense emotions and make conscious decisions that align with their values and goals. Join the Neurodiversity Podcast Advocacy and Support Group on Facebook. With school starting soon, we have an opportunity for educators to learn more about 2e students by taking our course, Strategies for Supporting Twice-Exceptional Students.

Hi mamas. Today on the podcast I'm so happy to be joined by my lovely friend and podcast host, mother, writer and producer, Lucinda McKimm. She is the host of the podcast Ready Or Not, and the co-host of Witching Hour, and a mother of two. In this conversation, we discuss Lucinda's experience of becoming a mother and how, despite her expectations that the day-to-day of the role would be challenging, she was not prepared her for the emotional intensity of motherhood, in terms of the rawness of the experience, the increased sense of vulnerability and exposure, and the shedding of layers that motherhood can catalyse within us. We also reflect on our own growth through our respective motherhood journeys, on our increasing resilience and perspective, and our newfound appreciation for our capabilities.   We also discuss: The impact of parenthood on relationships and how, even with a supportive and present father, so much of the physical and mental load falls to the mother, and the nuances in how us and our partners can experience the same things so differently. The transition of going from one to two children, something Lucina has recently experienced since the birth of her second child, and the feelings of overwhelm and guilt this can create. The importance of self-compassion when we go through hard times and how, although others may be suffering, this doesn't negate what you might be going through, as everyone has different access to support, different nervous systems, different past experiences and capacities. And so much more. We touch on so many facets of motherhood in this episode and Lucinda shares so much wisdom. I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation today as much as I enjoyed having it.  Here is where you can find out more about me (Yara), how to work with me and some resources: Why Am I So Angry Workshop *** Waitlist for The Rebirth, Group Coaching for Mamas ***This is my signature 3 months online group coaching container for mothers which covers family of origin, inner child work, nervous system basics, anger, boundaries and much more.  @lifeafterbirthpsychology   www.lifeafterbirth.com.au Free Inner Critic Workbook Free Values Aligned Living Workbook  Find out more about Lucinda: @lucindamckimm @readyornot.pod Listen to the Ready or Not podcast - Episode 4: Dropping The Plastic Balls and Talking Relationships, Parenting & Career with Psychologist Yara HearyLooking for support for anger while you mother?

In this episode, Dialogue Doctor Coach Laura Humm sits down with Historical Fantasy author Madeline Davis to look at a scene from Madeline's current work in progress. They discuss increasing the emotional intensity of the scene by replacing expositional summaries with getting characters speaking to each other, building frustration through vocalization, and taking into account what the Vehicle Character (the POV) has experienced before we choose the words the character uses.

In this week's episode of the podcast, we're talking with Christine Fonseca, licensed educational psychologist, critically acclaimed author, and nationally recognized speaker on topics related to educational psychology, mental health, giftedness, and using storytelling to heal past wounds.  Understanding the complex world of giftedness is crucial for providing the best support for your child. In this episode, we delve into key understandings that can make a significant difference in your homeschooling journey.   Key Takeaways: Recognize Intensity: Gifted kids often exhibit intense emotions and behaviors due to their high sensitivity and cognitive abilities. Understanding this can prevent mislabeling their intensity as behavioral issues. Identify Needs: Differentiating between gifted traits and actual behavioral problems is crucial. Providing the right accommodations can help them thrive without pathologizing their uniqueness. Embrace Emotional Intelligence (EQ): Teaching EQ can have a profound effect on a child's success. Use everyday moments to instill skills like empathy, adaptability, and social awareness. Navigate Social Dynamics: Gifted children may find it hard to fit in due to their exceptional intellect. Helping them value and appreciate different perspectives can bridge social gaps. Knowledge & Resources: Books and websites can be transformative. Utilize practical resources to better understand and support your gifted child. Parental Reflection: Understanding and managing your own emotional triggers can help you respond more effectively to your child. Trust that they will be fine, and lead with patience and empathy. Community and Support: Engaging with communities offers valuable insights and shared experiences. Connecting with other parents can provide additional support and strategies.

Welcome back to "Parenting the Intensity!"Today on the podcast I welcome guest Rebeccas Jo Rushdy, Platinum Konmari Consultant and the Owner of Spark Joy & Flow where she guides fellow empaths to declutter and transform their hearts, minds and homes into sanctuaries that spark joy and flow!And that's what we talk about, decluttering to create a calmer and more peaceful space, but so much more too! We talk a lot on the relationship between clearing our house and parenting and how it help us, and our kids, learn so many great lessons. And don't worry, there's no space for shaming you if your house is a mess here! That's not what we are about at all!Key takeaways of this episode:1. The power of decluttering: We share our experience with decluttering and how it made a significant impact on our lives. We discuss the Konmari approche for decluttering, which incorporates positive psychology and gratitude to change our perspective on decluttering from fear to joy. It's all about learning the life skill of letting go and designing a peaceful life for ourselves and our families.2. Managing expectations: This means involving children in decision making and giving them agency, in decluttering but in so much more spaces in life too, which can help soften any shocks or surprises that may come their way.3. Connecting decluttering with parenting: We discuss how parents can involve their children in the decluttering process and create a sense of emotional readiness and safety for them to let go of things. And that doesn't just means stuff, but all sorts of things in life that we need to let go of."We have to actually design life in a way that's peaceful for every family member because it's stressful for kids to be rushed as well."Show notes and transcript of the episode over hereWhere to find Rebecca:Spark Joy & FlowInstagramInsight TimerResources referenced by Rebecca:Marie Kondo's Website'The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing' by Marie KondoHighly Sensitive Parenthood WebsiteMake sure to subscribe to our podcast for future episodes and leave a rating and review, that helps us get in front of more parents.

Welcome back to "Parenting the Intensity!"Today, we have a very special guest joining us, Dr. Mercedes Oromendia, a trilingual biocultural psychologist with expertise in parenting, children, and trauma.In this episode, Mercedes and I dive deep into the world of parenting emotionally intense kids. We explore why children act the way they do and what actually happens in their bodies and mind when they're seemingly out of control.We cover:The importance of open communication and emotional expression in parenting: Emphasizing the importance of parents being able to openly express both love and frustration towards their child (not to them of course, to a safe person). This open communication creates a safe space for discussing the challenges of parenting and allows parents to reflect on their own behaviors and patterns.Treating children differently does not mean being unfair: Mercedes addresses the challenge parents face when their children start complaining about fairness. She emphasize the importance of parents reflecting on their decisions and being confident that they are doing what is best for each individual child. Treating children differently does not necessarily mean being unequal or unfair, as each child has different needs and circumstances.The power of understanding a child's history and triggers: Mercedes, who specializes in supporting foster and adoptive families, acknowledges that not knowing a child's entire history and medical background can present challenges. However, she stress the importance of understanding a child's story and triggers as much as possible. This understanding can help parents navigate and address their child's intense reactions and behaviors."I love my kid. I don't like my kid right now. That's okay too."Show notes and transcript of the episode over hereWhere to find Mercedes:Manatee WebsiteFacebookInstagramResources referenced by MercedesHand model of the brain by Dan SiegelThe boy who was raised as a dog by Bruce D PerryMake sure to subscribe to our podcast for future episodes and leave a rating and review, that helps us get in front of more parents.

When I first started my search for information in order to better understand and help my gifted son who was dealing with explosive feelings, I was recommended the book ‘Emotional Intensity in Gifted Students – Helping kids cope with explosive feelings'. At that moment I hardly knew anything about what being gifted actually entailed. I just thought it meant heaving an IQ above 130, being a fast learner and having strong analytical skills. The reform I did not relate the problems our son was having to him being gifted in any way.Today's guest is Christine Fonseca. Christine is an educational phycologist and author of many books on giftedness, trauma and intensity, one of which is a book I have recommended in podcasts before ‘Emotional Intensity in Gifted Students – Helping kids cope with explosive feelings'. In this podcast we discuss emotional intensity and the way it can manifest in our gifted kids. We also discuss how, as a parent, you can help your kids grow so they can handle their intense emotions and use them as a strength. Also, we talk about how trauma can impact the way our children show emotions and what you can do as a parent, teacher or health care professional to help these children regulate their emotions.

When you're experiencing intense emotions such as resentment, rage, depression, frustration or sadness, it's usually an indication that your emotions are trying to get your attention to look at something that needs to be addressed, fixed, released or evolved. Our emotions are intelligent spiritual guides and communications from your soul, body and higher self. Today, Anahata get curious about the messages underneath the feelings and explores how emotional chaos leaves clues about what is not in alignment.  Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/x3PPj5XrPnQ  Episode Page: https://www.shamangelichealing.com/ep-61-emotional-chaos-leaves-clues-with-anahata-ananda/  Anahata Website: shamangelichealing.com Anahata Instagram: @AnahataAnanda Anahata YouTube: youtube.com/ShamangelicHealing Anahata Facebook: facebook.com/ShamangelicHealing

Navigating Emotional Intensity and understanding the true nature of your emotional intelligence. As we awaken we are naturally going to feel more, for as we begin to heal we will begin to take up more space in our physical body and as we begin to take up more space and become present in our body we will become more acutely aware of our emotions and feel them more intensely. Those who are energetically sensitive will feel their emotions even more deeply. Their nervous system and emotional body are highly attuned to feel the subtleties of energy, frequency, and vibration beyond what the conditioned mind can comprehend. This sensitivity is not a weakness or a fragility which we have been led to believe in today’s culture. This sensitivity is a very necessary part of our human experience so we can connect with and experience the full spectrum of our human potential. Right now we are in the midst of a global shift in our human awareness and our perception - we are entering into the age of emotional maturity and emotional sovereignty. It has been a long time on this planet since we had the ability to truly translate and understand our emotions as an energetic language and this is what we are really here to remember. This month within ORIGEN our online ecosystem we are exploring how to navigate emotional intensity. This audio is an extract from our monthly orienting workshop. Take a moment to listen to this and if you wish close your eyes and embark on an experiential journey to ignite the remembrance of how to translate your emotional experiences effectively.

Today, we will talk to Alessia, a gifted artist and creator. In this podcast, I interview not only subject experts and psychologists but also emotionally intense people from all walks of lives, those who have been through unthinkable trauma and have turned their pain into art and meaningful work. To Alessia, each of her painting is an intense emotional reaction to experiences. Through her abstract paintings, she explores identity, existence and anxiety. In this conversation, we talked about how her chaotic childhood has affected her relationships today, the fear of abandonment, love addiction, how we can release anger and resentment towards our family, and also, her creative process. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Being the daughter of an immigrant and coming from an abusive household, deeply influenced her work and her sense of justice, especially towards women. Since she was a child, Alessia cared deeply about social issues as well as understanding the constant passing of time in a finite life. What does it mean being a woman? What is the essence of her being? Therefore, she started to explore identity and existence in her art. Alessia’s paintings and poetry are intense emotional reactions to the current world and increased anxiety. They are a way to let go, let go of everything. In 2016, she went back to Colombia and spent time in the jungle with a tribe that hosted her and she connected with nature, her biggest inspiration. Her paintings are a representation of her subconscious through trauma, resilience and inner child, her hands are guided by her needs as a woman in a society that aims for the destruction of individuality. Each painting comes along with a poem/lyric.

We will go through clusters of MBTI personality types, and how different people relate to their giftedness. We will talk about dealing with impatience and typical mistakes.ABOUT THE GUESTWillem has coined the concept of extra intelligence (Xi) 17 years ago, founded the Ximension.com website, and published his book Enjoying the Gift of Being Uncommon in 2010.

What is Emotional Intensity? Emotional intensity is how strongly people feel their emotions.  Culturally through most parts of the world, people are told if you react strongly to certain people or situations that you are too sensitive.  This leads many people to view their sensitivity as a negative instead of a positive. In this conversation with Imi, we cover not only how to identify if you are emotionally intense, but how to use that intensity to become a better leader. Some highlights include:   How to transition from a “misfit” to a leader (22:43) Just like canaries in a coal mine, it’s the sensitive people of this world that can sense our problems before the rest of us do (24:47) The importance of “root to rise”.  How you need to heal first before you can thrive (29:04) How to teach your adult "me" to talk to your "child" me so you can parent and support yourself  (29:52)  How the latin phrase “Amor Fati”, which means “be the lover of your fate” can help you embrace your current reality (34:31) Why forgiveness is sometimes uncalled for and unnecessary (39:34) Don’t forget to stop by http://www.corrielogiudice.com/what-is-emotional-intensity where we answer questions you may have about the episode.
