In 1989, the body of a woman was found hog tied off the side of a road in Richmond British Columbia.  What followed was one of the longest coroners inquest in Canadian history. An inquest that would say the woman had died by an unknown event. Although she was found with her hands and feet tied with nylon behind her back, although she had told police that for 7 years she was being harassed by an unknown person, a jury of her peers wasn't convinced that any crime had taken place… But how could that be?

189  (This episode goes hand in hand with episode 190) Being a highly sensitive person obviously means we are more sensitive than others. This has real ramifications in our love lives— both wonderful and challenging.  Listen in to this VERY revised (almost totally new) version of an older topic, where you will learn that, luckily, you can support your sensitive self in ways that amplify the best parts of your sensitivity, and make the challenges of it so much easier.   . . .and how this will involve caretaking your sensitive Mind Body Heart System, (starting with your nervous system) MORE deeply and consistently than non-HSPs (like it or not!).In other words, even if you resist the idea, the truth is, in order to have an intimate relationship (and life) that feels deeply satisfying, nourishing, and fulfilling as an HSP, you need to attend more to your emotional well-being and nervous system regulation than non-HSPs.  In this episode you will hear my own story around this, and how, as I've accepted this, and learned how to caretake my sensitive nervous system (and sensitive mind, body, heart, and emotions), I've fallen in love with doing it. AND how doing so changed EVERYTHING for the better forever in my love life.This can be true for you, too. You'll also learn:why love and marriage can be so hard as HSP without truly caretaking your sensitive system in the right wayswhy accepting your higher need for emotional caretaking can be difficult, and why it's more than worth it to do sothe 4 simple but essential foundational steps to get started with right away to be able to truly caretake your sensitive systemAnd the best way to truly regulate the most foundational aspect of your emotional well-being (your nervous system) so you can always be able to guide yourself back to that calm, steady, connected-to-your-heart-and-wisdom place from which you'll best relate to your significant other in ways that lead to the deepest connection, love, and collaboration, and the most fulfilling intimacy. Without this emotional tending, the kind of relationship you most want – full of love, lightheartedness, attraction, effective and connecting communication, and mutual supportiveness – is likely to remain elusive.But with it? You set the stage for what can feel like magic to  happen in your relationship.

190 I made you a special short quiz to determine the level of dysregulation in your unique nervous system.  (This episode goes hand in hand with episode 189, so I highly recommend listening to it first, or after you take the quiz.)Why should you take it? Because as highly sensitive people (and really, as just regular human beings on this planet in these modern times), our nervous systems are often chronically dysregulated.And this has a major impact in a not-so-great way on our lives in general and especially on our relationships. So you need to understand if you have a nervous system that is dysregulated chronically or that tends to get easily dysregulated.Unfortunately this can happen even more easily for us than non-HSPs. When we are dysregulated, we react more strongly than we normally would, in one way or another, and that leads to much more drama, much more struggle in our relationships, and a lot less clear, effective communication, a lot less getting through to our spouses, and being able to really hear each other, a lot less open-heartedness and connection, and a lot less feeling the mutual supportiveness and sense of being on the same team.So there really are many different ways that nervous system dysregulation can show up to the detriment of your relationship and to the detriment of your life in general.And you do want to know if it is happening for you so that you can make the necessary changes. Because that's the really good news: you have so much sway over your nervous system regulation or dysregulation. It just can take a little bit of learning and attention to it.Dive in now with pen and paper in hand.SHOW NOTES:Take the Dysregualtion quiz here in written format.Learn all about Foundations of Emotional Well-Being Course; The Root Of A Better Relationship  here.

As highly sensitives in business and leadership, our relationship with money is a mirror of our deepest patterns, beliefs, and sense of self-worth. In these extraordinary times, when the terrain of both business and money is shifting quickly, evolving our relationship and mindset around money is no longer optional—it is essential. Moving into what I call “Money Mindset 2.0” requires courage, self-inquiry, and a willingness to release limiting beliefs that no longer serve us. This deeper level of awareness and transformation allows us to create an empowered relationship with money that in turn supports with less effort, more impact, and more income as a highly sensitive leader. In this episode, I discuss the challenges of long-held limiting beliefs and patterns around money. I talk about my own money story along with personal reflections from my family of origin, and pivotal turning points in my money mindset journey—including filing for bankruptcy and building my business from the ground up. I also share insights inspired by Louise Hay's teachings, and invite you to explore your own money story in a powerful new way. Be sure to listen until the end, where you'll be invited to engage with two intentional assignments to support you with uncovering your own limiting beliefs about money and to instead align yourself with abundance and peace. If you’re ready to shift your money mindset as an HSP in business and leadership, this episode is for you. “It is my job, my role, to lead this community into terrain where we may not want to go, but where we are called to go.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 2:00 What is Money Mindset 2.0 6:21: How to find your limiting negative beliefs about money 7:00: Why do we need Money Mindset 2.0 now 7:53: Highlights of Heather’s money journey 15:05: How to change your negative money beliefs “This is an opportunity to look more closely at your own triggers connected to money…not so that you can compare yourself to others and their income goals, only and all so that you can find your personal peace.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather's book DIFFERENT: http://www.differentthebook.com/ Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com/ Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com/ Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/213

Do you have mysterious fatigue or physical symptoms? In this episode, I talk with Audrey Burke, LMBT, SEP about the somatic impact of stress and trauma as well as:  • Connections between early life trauma, emotional dysregulation, and high sensitivity • The different types of trauma present from birth through adulthood • The long-term impact of adverse babyhood and childhood experiences  • How to increase resilience and begin healing through safe relationships   Audrey is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, massage therapist and Transforming Touch practitioner based in Durham, North Carolina. As a highly sensitive person herself, she discovered somatic work through her own healing journey and found that somatic support was the missing piece in her path to mysterious health symptoms and feeling at home in her body. Now, she helps other highly sensitive people heal from shock trauma, developmental trauma, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation, supporting them in feeling safer in themselves and the world.  Keep in touch with Audrey:• Website: http://www.restorativepresence.com  • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/somaticswithaudrey  • Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@somaticswithaudrey  Resources Mentioned: • Somatic Healing Guide: https://www.restorativepresence.com  • Book a Session with Audrey: https://calendly.com/restorativepresence-1/  • Find a Local Touch Practitioner: https://coregulatingtouch.com  Thanks for listening!

Have you ever been in a room and sensed social dynamics beneath the surface before a word was spoken? Perhaps you've noticed (consciously or unconsciously) a subtle glance, a shift in posture, or a hint of tension between the lines. If so, you're not alone. This kind of social sensitivity is part of being a highly sensitive person (HSP). This episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast is the first in a series that will explore the social dimensions of sensory processing sensitivity, the biological trait underlying high sensitivity. I'll be drawing on ideas from The HSP Owner's Guide, a mini-zine resource I created with Tuula, which is designed to help HSPs explore and discuss sensitivity as a normal aspect of being human. https://youtu.be/DFiJHxI9Qko What is Social Sensitivity? Social sensitivity refers to how highly sensitive individuals perceive and respond to emotional cues, interpersonal dynamics, and the tone of their environment. It's not a learned skill or a conscious choice; it's a normal variation in biological traits. More sensitive nervous systems naturally absorb larger volumes of environmental data and process it deeply. This means HSPs (those who score higher for sensitivity along a universal continuum), are more sensitive to social nuances and more susceptible to the effects of social stimulation. What is Sensory Processing Sensitivity? SPS is a trait found in 20–30% of the population (not just humans). It means that some are biologically wired to process more sensory input around us (environment), within us (internal), and between us (social). This trait can make someone more emotionally responsive, detail-aware, and easily overstimulated. Despite stereotypes and associations with the term, it's not often easy to tell a highly sensitive person by looking at them. You might even look calm and collected on the outside when your system is working overtime beneath the surface. Social Sensitivity and Early Learning The nervous system informs thoughts and feelings in response to a perception of safety or danger from cues and triggers. The way we interpret social data isn't always “objectively true", particularly if we grew up in unpredictable or critical environments. This pattern recognition can shape how we experience social settings well into adulthood. That's why intuition can be both a strength and a vulnerability for sensitive people. It's wise to ask: Is this gut feeling rooted in the present, or the past? Key Elements of Social Sensitivity in HSPs Heightened Awareness of Social Nuance More sensitive individuals might be attuned to micro-expressions, body language, tone changes, and subtle group dynamics. This can give them a natural ability to “read the room,” but it can also lead to emotional absorption and a tendency to take responsibility for others' discomfort. Not every HSP reacts the same way. Some feel compelled to help, others want to escape the weight of unspoken tensions. Personality, personal history, and social roles all play a part. Deep Emotional Responsiveness Many highly sensitive people feel others' emotions deeply. This allows for strong empathy and attunement, but also risks emotional contagion—carrying other people's emotional weight without realising it. Brain studies suggest that those on the more sensitive end exhibit increased activity in areas associated with emotional processing. But this doesn't mean you're doomed to feel overwhelmed by uncontrollable sources of emotion. With awareness and practice, it's possible to separate your emotions from those of others and develop healthy emotional boundaries. Rejection Sensitivity and the Need to Belong HSPs might be particularly attuned to signs of rejection or disapproval, whether real or imagined. Some develop habits of withdrawing or masking to avoid being perceived as “too much” or “too sensitive.” I've noticed a few people suddenly and unexpectedly leave the Haven community ...

Is hidden trauma quietly draining your energy as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)? Many HSPs carry emotional weight from the past—often without realizing it. Whether it's the loud pain of Big T trauma or the subtle, daily erosion of Little T trauma, these experiences shape how you react, relate, and show up in the world. This episode is your gentle yet eye-opening invitation to explore where healing truly begins. Why This Episode Matters to You: If you're a highly sensitive person feeling chronically overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, or physically drained, unprocessed trauma may be playing a bigger role than you think. This episode unpacks how trauma uniquely impacts HSPs—and reveals compassionate ways to start healing without retraumatizing yourself. It's not about fixing what's broken—it's about finding freedom through understanding. What You'll Walk Away With: A clear understanding of the difference between Big T and Little T trauma—and why both deeply affect HSPs. The overlooked signs of unprocessed trauma that could be showing up in your body, emotions, and relationships. Gentle, empowering healing practices—from therapy to somatic work to Byron Katie's The Work—that honor your sensitivity and help build resilience.

188  Developing healthy boundaries is an absolutely essential part of having a great intimate relationship, especially as highly sensitive people.They are a way to take care of yourself, each other, and the relationship.  I teach 3 types of boundaries, and today we are diving into the 2 psychological, or energetic types of boundaries: Protection boundaries, and containment boundaries. (Please listen to episode 51 for Relationship Boundary Basics.)When you use these kinds of boundaries skillfully, you will be able to create more closeness in your relationship, and leave beyond patterns and behaviors that create extra division, conflict,  and animosity.The thing is, many HSPs are a bit weak in these particular boundaries. So let's change that starting now! Dive in to hear what these two types of boundaries are, whether or not you need to strengthen them for yourself, and how and when to implement them. For each type, you will hear 2 or 3 tips to grow stronger boundaries (including two visualizations you can use over and over again), so you can feel less pain, resentment, and regret, and be more skillful at communicating and connecting with your partner. Listen in.SHOW NOTES:CHECK OUT THE COURSES MENTIONED: Stop Taking It So Personally Coaching Privately with Hannah ENJOYING THE PODCAST?Don't miss an episode!

Building upon the foundation laid in episode 725, I revisit the first 13 characteristics of highly sensitive individuals, encouraging those who resonate with these traits to embrace their unique experiences. Recognizing the challenges that come with heightened sensitivity is crucial; it's not about something being "wrong" with you but rather about understanding and managing these traits. I explore the subtleties of high sensitivity, starting from the deeply rooted aversion to violence and cruelty, to the emotional exhaustion that can arise from absorbing others' feelings. Each identified trait, such as experiencing time pressure as overwhelming or being easily startled by sudden loud noises, serves to paint a fuller picture of what it means to navigate the world as a highly sensitive person. My goal is to empower listeners by reinforcing that they should not internalize negativity associated with these feelings; rather, recognizing them can lead to essential self-growth and awareness. #Anxiety #HighlySensitivePerson #HSP #EmotionalSensitivity #SensoryProcessingSensitivity #SelfCompassion #Mindfulness #Meditation #AnxietyPodcast #MentalWellness #InnerPeace #ElaineAaron #AnxietySupport #LivingWithAnxiety #HighlySensitive #EmpathLife #DeepFeelings #SensoryOverload #InnerWorldJourney #SensitiveAndStrong #UnderstandingHSP #HSPCommunity #EmotionalWellbeing #SelfCareForHSPs #MindfulLiving #PeaceWithin #OvercomingAnxiety #ResilienceBuilding #EmotionalValidation #AnxietyCoach #GinaRyan #TheAnxietyCoachesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Quote: Highly sensitive people learned early in life to try to control the external world as a way to attempt to manage their inner one. -Sheryl Paul Chapters 0:26 Introduction to Sensitivity 2:22 Quotes on Sensitivity 6:12 The Nature of Highly Sensitive People 8:53 Identifying as Highly Sensitive 10:15 Emotional Exhaustion and Sensitivity 11:53 Traits of Highly Sensitive People 16:13 Navigating Change and Sensitivity 16:58 Closing Thoughts and Next Steps Summary In this episode, I delve into the experience of being a highly sensitive person (HSP) and how it can often be mistaken for anxiety. I discuss the unique traits of HSPs, who make up about 20% of the population and possess an ability to process stimulation deeply and feel emotions intensely. While being highly sensitive can provide exquisite advantages such as heightened empathy and an acute awareness of details that others might overlook, it also comes with challenges that can lead to feeling overwhelmed in everyday life. I explore the breadth of feelings and responses that accompany high sensitivity, emphasizing the dual nature of these traits. For instance, while heightened empathy can be considered a gift, it also means that HSPs might find themselves emotionally exhausted from absorbing the feelings of those around them. I share insights from notable experts on the topic, including Elaine Aron and Jen Graneman, to reinforce that sensitivity is not a weakness but a distinctive trait that warrants respect and understanding. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to reflect on how their sensitivities manifest and how they might identify as an HSP. #HighlySensitivePerson #HSP #Anxiety #EmotionalSensitivity #Overstimulation #Empathy #SelfCareForHSPs #ElaineAron #JenGraneman #InnerPeace #HighlySensitive #HSPCommunity #Empath #Introvert #Extrovert #EmotionalWellbeing #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfLove #Mindfulness #StressRelief #CopingStrategies #PersonalGrowthJourney #InnerStrength #Vulnerability #Authenticity #GentleParenting #SensitiveSoul #TheAnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #ListenNow Learn more about your ad choices.
