You get nervous before get-togethers but enjoy them once you get there, at least for a while. Could you be a highly sensitive person and an extrovert, too? In this episode of Woman Worriers, host Elizabeth Cush and her guest, Patricia Young, talk about life as a highly sensitive extrovert. “Being alive is messy and complicated and we can lean into the pain and we can lean into the joy.” — Patricia Young When you were growing up, you might have felt like a misfit. Now, you might feel life’s ups and downs very intensely. You might process things differently, on a deeper level. Sound familiar? You might be a highly sensitive person (HSP). It’s a trait we usually associate with introverts, but that’s not always the case. In this episode of the Woman Worriers podcast host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist and founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., welcomes Patricia Young, a social worker, coach and host of the Unapologetically Sensitive podcast, who is herself a highly sensitive person who also happens to be an extrovert.

TITLE Sarah Buino, LCSW, CADC, RDDP, CDWF Interviews Patricia GUEST Sarah Buino EPISODE OVERVIEW Sarah Buino interviews me—these are from her show notes--One of my greatest joys in life is connecting with a fellow outcast and truth-teller. All the better if said person comes equipped with a badass nickname like Mad Lady-Balls. Patricia Young, LCSW, the person behind the stern, brass-plated moniker is everything you’d expect her to be: hilarious, whip-smart, and dishy. She’s also unapologetically sensitive, a trait she’s built into both a successful career and a popular podcast. SARAH’S SHOW NOTES FROM HER PODCAST CONVERSATIONS WITH A WOUNDED HEALER “I wish somebody would have told that to me: it’s okay to struggle. We’re supposed to struggle; we’re humans. We’re complicated; we’re messy.” ~Patricia Young Highly sensitive. If you’ve ever had that phrase leveled against you, then you know the sting of those words. You’re also acquainted with the shame-spiral that accompanies all that over-thinking and over-feeling. But it’s precisely these traits, the intensity and the emotionality, that Patricia says any highly sensitive person (or HSP) should reclaim and celebrate. They’re the qualities that make HSPs gifted healers, or align them with social justice issues. Still, it’s not always an easy go. “We have so many strengths,” Patricia says of her fellow HSPs, “and our culture doesn’t really value sensitivity.” Her podcast, Unapologetically Sensitive, however, gives HSPs the space to come as they are: too intense; too dramatic; too anxious; too somber. Patricia gifts HSPs with the tools to fashion those tired pejoratives into enviable superpowers. I could talk to Patricia for hours; she extends the same authenticity on display in her podcast to this show. She does the same in her therapy and coaching practice. “It doesn’t matter if we’re therapists or not. We’re still human beings that have human struggles on a daily basis. And I really want to pull the curtain back on that because we’re just humans.” I love this so much, not least of all because she follows that sentiment up with THIS gem: “The healers that don’t look at their own wounding scare the f@!#ng sh!t out of me.” Same, girl. Same. PODCAST INTERVIEWER Sarah Buino, LCSW, CADC, RDDP, CDWF is a therapist, teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

How do you succeed in marketing your practice when you tend toward introversion? So many clinicians are not extroverts and don’t feel comfortable with the traditional networking that is required in marketing. There are challenges to face, and fortunately, there are non-traditional forms of marketing that can be done. This show will give you some valuable information and practical insights about marketing for non-extroverts. Patricia Young, LCSW, is based in California, but also offers teletherapy sessions for her clients. Her practice focuses on helping HSP’s (highly sensitive people) experience more ease and peace and thrive with less overwhelm and fatigue. In today’s show, Patricia discusses marketing and the fears around it, along with how we can honor who we really are and still present our business in authentic ways. She shares with us three non-traditional marketing methods that have worked well for her that might be just what you’re looking for! You can read the full show notes at : Session171

Patricia Young returns to The Family Brain to discuss the impact of quarantine and coping with all the implications of this global pandemic on mental and emotional wellness. Patricia is a coach for HSP (Highly Sensitive People) and when she was a guest on a prior episode I heard back from many listeners that the they could closely relate to the way she talks about her experiences of navigating the world as a HSP. I thought her observations about her own processing of this time as well as what she has heard from her community would be relatable to many listeners.

In 1996, Elaine Aron published a book called The Highly Sensitive Person. In it she described a number of traits of which resonated with many who experience the world acutely. In my episode today, I interview a clinical social worker who specializes in working with highly sensitive people in order to help them embrace these traits and thrive in the world around them. Patricia Young, LCSW explores this book with me to examine what it is like to live in a world where you are often told that you think too much, you’re too dramatic, you’re too worried, and you can’t let things go. We talk about the importance of rest, why sensitivity is often misunderstood as being as introversion, and why the world needs more of Mr. Rogers.

Is being sensitive a bad thing? From an early age we are told to “suck it up” and to “stop crying” and are not given permission to lean into the natural emotions that we feel. As a result, when we are adults we often see being “sensitive” as a negative thing without seeing it as the GIFT it really is. This week I had the honor of connecting with therapist and coach for Highly Sensitive People, Patricia Young. Patricia shares with us why being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is something we should see as a “super power” and why we should unapologetically OWN who we are . Patricia shares with us her personal story, and how she came to the conclusion that she was called to work specifically with Highly Sensitive People. She educates about the trait of High Sensitivity as well as the strengths of Highly Sensitive People; how to navigate relationships as a Highly Sensitive Person, and how to recognize and validate our needs as HSPs. We hope this episode encourages you no matter who you are, or what type of personality you have to be proud of it. We should never apologize or be ashamed of our feelings, and if you are someone that feels more deeply than those around you, that is actually a beautiful thing. As Patricia says, “We need you!”.

TITLE A Highly Sensitive Therapist talks about Feeling Invisible, & How She Views Her Anxiety After Learning She’s An HSP GUEST Kitty McCormick EPISODE OVERVIEW Kitty is a childhood friend who is now a therapist. We talk about the anxieties we both felt as children, but never discussed. Kitty’s father was a prominent public figure, and she was pushed into acting/auditioning as a child to help with her shyness. She also talks about some of the barriers she experienced with non-Highly Sensitive Therapists, and her desire to please. Kitty also talks about the challenges she experienced in groups (including therapy groups) being an introvert until she took the Online HSP Course.

I don’t let societal norms affect me I don’t want to numb my compassion I like the quirkiness that makes me I might want my sensory sensitivity removed, but keep the emotional depth It helps me be creative, artistic and introspective HSPs are shamans and healers (therapists, massage therapist, teachers) Would be boring—I wouldn’t have insight and I wouldn’t care I’m strong and resilient 31 Questions to ask yourself before setting next year’s goals What are the first thoughts that come to mind about the past year?

What felt difficult one year ago that now feels easy (or easier)? Of the books I read this year, which was my favorite? How did I capture my thoughts and feelings? (journaling, writing, social media sharing, talking one-on-one with friends or family, etc.) Was that method helpful? What are six adjectives that best describe this year?

TITLE Expectations & Disappointments & Creating a Vision for 2020 GUEST Solo Episode EPISODE OVERVIEW We all experience expectations and disappointments, and it’s more present at this time of year. Do I regret talking about relationship issues? When do we talk about issues with others, and when do we need to work it out on our own? It’s ok to have wants and needs, but sometimes we need to show up for ourselves. I talk about a new awareness that frustrates me! With the New Year approaching, what do you want to create more of, and what do you want less of? I suggest a daily practice to help us honor ourselves. HIGHLIGHTS Expectations and disappointments This time of year creates more of this This can also show up in relationships Can we allow people to show up exactly as they are Do I regret talking about some of the challenges I’ve had this past year with my relationships When do we name what’s going on, and when do we either leave it, or process with someone else As we grow and change, how we handle relationships may change I talk about how I feel about recording or saying certain things in the episode where I wasn’t invited, and I felt hurt I tend to pick friends who are very opposite of me in some ways, but it can create some challenges What do we do when we want someone to do something for us, but we don’t want to ask for it because it doesn’t count Ways to evaluate stuck places in relationships What to do when we’re not feeling seen and heard in a relationship When is it my responsibility to step and really be present for myself We often choose people in our lives in an attempt to work out some of the things we missed from our parents We want nurturing and healing from other relationships—there’s nothing wrong with this How we can evaluate if looking for this outside validation is working or not We’re supposed to be connected to others; it’s ok to have wants—this can be very healthy How we can honor pain and see what’s on the other side What happens when the wound of not enough comes up Many of us have a fear of getting in touch with our needs will bring up rage around not getting it when we were younger How do we show up for ourselves? In order to heal, we need to learn to be here for ourselves We can still get it from others—it’s not an “either or” How we can understand some of the dynamics in our relationships Being alive means we’re going to experience discomfort—we can manage When we realize that we’re expecting someone else to make us feel whole and complete, it’s not uncommon for us to then feel anger, grief, disappointment We can still stay in relationships and focus on the parts that work, and know that there are limitations We may notice things in relationships that the other person doesn’t see Sometimes we need to say something, and sometimes we just get to notice that it’s there How are we showing up in relationships? What are we expecting from others? Is it giving us peace? Are our attachment or abandonment issues coming up? Are we getting hung up? How we honor others in relationships even when we think “we know best” for the other person You can use radical self-compassion and mindfulness to notice what’s going on and where we get stuck We want to be our best selves When you have good support, we can learn to work through these things We can recognize patterns that are going on without acting from that place of wounding What are you needing to take care of yourself? You can listen to a favorite song Take a bath Take a walk Spend time with a child Take time alone Spend time with an animal Have a cup of tea or hot chocolate Curl up with a cozy blanket Watch a movie or show Light a candle Go into the bathroom for alone time Using box breathing—breathe in for a count of 4; hold for 4, exhale for 4 and hold for 4. Repeat at least 8 times If everything sucks, then notice what sucks Sometimes things suck and that’s just how it is At the end of the year, I write about what’s happened professionally, personally, friendships, spirituality, health My goal this next year is to look at myself through my own lens I want to own my perspective and not minimize I want to live a bolder brighter life and to be less apologetic I imagine how other people are responding to me instead of owning my perspective. This hurts me I want to see my life and my responses from my perspective What are you working on? What do you want more of in the New Year? What do you want less of in the New Year? What’s working What’s not working Think of 3 things you’ve done daily to take care of yourself Focus on the process, not the outcome or the feelings PODCAST HOST Patricia Young works with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) helping them to understand their HSP traits, and turning their perceived shortcomings into superpowers.

TITLE Creating Peace Through the Holidays GUEST Sharon Martin, LCSW EPISODE OVERVIEW We talk about ways to make the holidays smoother—in terms of travelling, having guests, dealing with family members who may be challenging, feeling obligated, overspending, expectations, and lots of ways that Sensitives can provide better care for themselves during these times of overstimulation, high expectations and lots of activity. Sharon explains what it’s like if a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) has a narcissist (or someone with narcissistic tendencies) in their life. We talk about feeling criticized, and no matter what you do, it never feels like you’re enough or you’re good enough. We talk a little about anxiety and depression and how counseling or therapy can help to gain insight into patterns that are from childhood. We talk about ways to take breaks; looking at new traditions, and being sure to take care of our basic needs HIGHLIGHTS Which parts of the holidays are overwhelming? You don’t have to do everything Take a lot of breaks If you are travelling to see family, consider staying in a hotel Be sure you’re taking care of your basic needs—sleep, nutrition, time alone, exercise, quiet time How to deal with challenging family members who may be narcissistic or are very critical Setting realistic expectations Prioritizing your values Recognizing limited resources Identifying where you feel obligated Fear of disappointing others BIO Sharon Martin, LCSW is a licensed psychotherapist, mental health writer, and media contributor on emotional health and relationships.

TITLE Jeff Guenther, LPC, Interviews Patricia About the Strengths of Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) GUEST Jeff Guenther, LPC EPISODE OVERVIEW Does a client who comes to therapy need to learn to be more resilient? If a couple comes to therapy, should the focus be on getting the HSP to be less sensitive? These are questions that Jeff Guenther asks during this interview. We also talk about how therapeutic ruptures can occur when the therapist is not aware of the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). We talk a little bit about High Sensation Seeking (HSS), and we talk about the strengths and gifts HSPs have to offer the world. HIGHLIGHTS The interview starts with me saying that I’m tired and depleted, and we talk about why this type of authenticity is important to me We talk about introversion and extroversion and that much that we see about introverts overlays the trait of High Sensitivity, but doesn’t distinguish this I thought I had social anxiety, but it turns out I probably got overaroused and overstimulated when I was younger, and didn’t understand what it was, and assumed I had social anxiety I thought I was an introvert and used it as an excuse to not socialize Turns out, I’m a Highly Sensitive Extrovert, so I need to find my sweet spot for enough socializing, but not too much We talk about High Sensation Seeking (HSS) and what it might look like I give the statistic that men and women equally represent that trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person, but I neglect to say that I haven’t seen research about how those numbers impact folx who are non-binary or trans Thank you to Dara Hoffman-Fox for bringing this to my attention 50% of clients in therapy are Highly Sensitive (HSP) They are the clients who tend to arrive on time Pay their bills on time Do homework Really want to dig in to therapy If a therapist doesn’t know about the trait of being Highly Sensitive, they may try and get their client to be like the 80% of non-HSPs, this can be detrimental to the client and cause a rupture in therapy without the therapist even realizing it When a therapist is HS Knowledgeable, their client retention increases since they are able to attune to their HS client. It’s a win-win for the therapist and the client In the brain of a HSP, more areas are active and taking in information. An HSP may gather 20 pieces of data from an interaction, and a non-HSP may gather 5. This is how mis-attunement can happen, or why HSPs see and experience things that non-HSPs miss A therapist who is HS Knowledgeable will want to be aware of how they are showing up for the client (are they tired, stressed etc.). It may help the relationship when the therapist communicates their own limitation. It creates safety for the HS client As therapists and coaches, we want to initially do validating, mirroring, normalization, education, and then skill-building (if that’s in alignment with the client’s goals) Jeff asks if a Highly Sensitive Person came to see me, would I help them be more resilient. I ask Jeff if he’s assuming that HS clients/people need to be more resilient GUEST BIO Jeff Guenther, LPC, is a therapist in Portland, OR. He has been in private practice since 2005. Jeff is the creator and owner of Portland Therapy Center, a highly ranked therapist directory. He also hosts a podcast called Say More About That about trending mental health topics.

TITLE Two Participants From The Online HSP Course Share Their Experience GUESTS Shelly Aaron & Melissa EPISODE OVERVIEW You get to hear past participants talk about these questions—Did you have resistance to taking the Course? How did you feel about the cost? Was it worth it? How was it having an online experience? Did you feel connected to the other members in the group? Did you feel that 1 person dominated or that you didn’t get your needs met? Did you feel seen, heard and honored? Did the Course meet your expectations? How was it being with 6 other HSPs? Did you feel the group was a safe place to share? What If you’re not sure you’re an HSP? HIGHLIGHTS What are some things that you feel are important to share about the Course Melissa talks about how she felt heard in a way she hadn’t ever felt heard I ask if participants ever felt shamed or exposed in a way that made them feel uncomfortable Both Melissa and Shelly talk about how they were impacted by the way that I show up as a facilitator Participants felt like they had permission to share what they felt afraid or embarrassed to share This allowed other group members to share in an open, vulnerable and safe way Participants felt that the Course was a safe space to share How was it doing online work? Did you feel connected to other group members online? My gremlins come up during the interview, and I share this How was it being in a group of 6 other HSPs One participant took the whole course from bed (I had no idea) It’s nice to be in a group of HSPs who are interested in doing the work This Course is about honoring your needs Participants felt like they weren’t alone when they heard others share about things they experienced I felt like I finally belonged somewhere—receiving support and offering support felt good Melissa said she would NEVER take this Course, and they money was a barrier. She talked about her experience after taking the Course Melissa and her husband both took the Course, and she talks about how this has impacted her marriage Melissa also talks about learning her son is an HSP, and how this has impacted their relationship What would you say to someone who may be considering the Course, but feels like they’ve don’t things like this, or that it’s too expensive If you’re not sure you’re an HSP, several people took this Course anyway, and they said they benefited learning more I ask Shelly and Melissa if they ever felt like someone dominated the group, or they didn’t get their needs met How we used reality checks when someone felt that they were taking up too much time, and Shelly and Melissa talk about how this impacted them BIOS Shelly Aaron As a current yoga teacher, health coach & bodyworker, I've spent the last 15 years of my career, passionately coaching individuals to exceed their goals...which has ultimately led me to this amazing work of video and audio production.

TITLE Ways To Honor Our Needs Around the Holidays, & I Lost My Sh*t; It’s Not About The Gravy! GUEST Solo Episode EPISODE OVERVIEW How I’m simplifying Thanksgiving and consciously making changes so I don’t lose my sh*t again this Thanksgiving (and if I do, I’ll practice radical self-compassion). How can we use mindfulness to create more peace during this holiday season? I talk about boundaries, and what can make it difficult to set boundaries. I also talk about some of the challenges and benefits of having a practice for gratitude, and then there’s the famous replay from last Thanksgiving. HIGHLIGHTS Update about the changes I’m making for the holidays this year What I was concerned my family would think since we’re just having immediate family for Thanksgiving Update on my Mom’s health (after her health scare last year) How self-care and reducing stress allows us to be fully present for our loved ones (and most importantly, for ourselves) How I’m being impacted by consciously creating things that are workable for the holidays The challenges that come up with setting boundaries What we tend to imagine when we are getting ready to set boundaries The familiar known discomfort we often choose instead of risking an unknown discomfort if we set a boundary Boundaries are about the process of practicing them We often override our need to make ourselves a priority Are you willing to experience a new kind of discomfort? How we can use mindfulness to start to see what we want How to use radical self-compassion if we’re not ready to make those changes yet How we can practice gratitude and still honor our feelings PODCAST HOST Patricia Young works with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) helping them to understand their HSP traits, and turning their perceived shortcomings into superpowers.

TITLE The Five Superpowers of the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) & High Sensation Seeking (HSS) GUEST Caroline Ferguson EPISODE OVERVIEW Caroline Ferguson, whose Tedx talk is titled Unlocking the Secret Power of Sensitivity at Work, says burnout in the workplace is likely to be 2x higher for HSPs. She talks about the importance of curiosity, creativity and compassion and how this relates to High Sensation Seeking (HSS). Carolyn talks about the many specific strengths of HSPs, but also talks about optimal career choices that meet the need for novelty and intensity. If you have a low threshold for boredom and like new exciting things, you may be an HSS. HIGHLIGHTS The 5 superpowers Ability to notice—highly tuned in/ability to process at great depth Rich creative imagination—daydreamers, creatives, solution providers Highly conscientious—connected/concerns about others with a little bit of perfectionism Empathy—noticing, observing, don’t want to let others down, get the job done properly Intuition—noticing and spotting patterns at a level of detail, body language, tone of voice Caroline’s superpowers—brainstorming, the use of words, language and stories Caroline likes the terms Highly Responsive and Finely-Tuned to describe a Highly Sensitive Person We need to learn to honor our feelings We may have a tendency to cry and have tender feelings Burnout in the workplace is likely to be 2x greater for HSPs compared to non-HSPs High Sensation Seeking (HSS)—30% of HSPs are also HSS, which is about 6-7% of the population Sensitive Upstarts—don’t wait for permission and they create change Someone who is curious, seeking and creates change It is an evolutionary imperative They have curiosity and compassion Great jobs are project manager or life coach Curiosity is innate and hardwired to be fascinated by life around us We have been told curiosity killed the cat, or that we’re nosy, and we’ve had the curiosity beaten out of us Curiosity is an amazing skill and it’s the opposite of judgment—we’re open; we want to know Curiosity increases compassion and acceptance With High Sensation Seeking (HSS), we are involved in certain things, then we stop and we move on to the next thing We can design a life, career and relationships that have novelty, and intensity and variety With High Sensation Seeking, we have a part that wants to dial down and a part that’s seeking stimulation Creativity and curiosity are part of being a HSS HSS have a deep fascinations, passions and want to absorb everything HSS have a low boredom threshold, and want to get on to the next new, exciting and varied thing that comes up GUEST BIO Caroline Ferguson is a Mindset Trainer, cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist and the original 'Sensitive Upstart'.

TITLE I Heal Through My Songs with Singer & Songwriter Karen Drucker GUEST Karen Drucker EPISODE OVERVIEW Karen is a singer/songwriter with over 15 CDs, and she is also an author. She writes songs that heal and bless the soul! Karen talks about being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and how she is able to perform at huge concerts, travel to perform, and still honors her HSP needs. We talk about the creative process, and what inspires her lyrics. Karen jokes that if you want to know her issues, listen to her songs. Karen talks about her inner critic, named Zelda, and how Karen works with Zelda when Zelda shows up trying to protect her. Karen also sings a bit acapella, which made my eyes water. HIGHLIGHTS Before I knew about being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I just always felt weird When people would hear me say I was an HSP, they would just raise their eyebrow As a Highly Sensitive Person, I am aware; I’m empathetic and I can meet people at a deeper level Knowing the traits of being an HSP helped me to adapt I always joke—if you want to know my issues, listen to my songs My songs are writing to myself; it’s my therapy If I’m not feeling worthy, or I’m stressed about time, I write a song and turn it into an affirmation I think about what words would bring comfort and I write about it I’m doing more work with people with health issues, cancer, people in recovery or dealing with their inner critic—let’s focus and sing about it Music bypasses the bring and goes into the heart—literally. Oxytocin in released and it’s like having a musical meditation The song Be Gentle was written when Karen was having a hard time and was beating up on herself. These are the lyrics-- I will be gentle with myself I will be gentle with myself And I will hold myself like a newborn baby child I will be tender with my heart I will be tender with my heart And I will hold my heart like a newborn baby child And I will only go as fast As the slowest part of me feels safe to go I will be easy on myself I will be easy on myself And I love myself like a new born baby child And I will only go as fast As the slowest part of me feels safe to go I am gentle with myself I am gentle with myself And I hold myself like a new born baby child And I rock myself like a newborn baby child And I hold myself like a newborn baby child And I love myself like a newborn baby child Karen tends to write songs from all perspectives—when she is struggling; when she is grateful, etc. Creativity is allowing yourself to be open. Karen said she is attuned towhat she hears in the world Karen never anticipated writing a book, but she felt a calling to do it We talk about how The Universe can conspire on your behalf, and what serendipity can look like Karen talks about her inner critic, whose name is Zelda, who is there to attempt to protect Karen. Whenever Karen is growing or stretching, Zelda gets stronger Karen uses mindfulness, curiosity, acceptance and she embraces Zelda Karen will tell Zelda, “I know you are there; I hear what you’re saying. This is MY truth today…” Karen suggests recording on your phone all the wonderful things you want to say to yourself, and listen to it several times/day We talk about why this can be difficult for people to do We talk about the struggle when people expect you to show up a certain way, but you are feeling more tired or quiet. How do you navigate this authentically (or not) Karen shares her birthday ritual and how she connects to herself on this special day GUEST BIO Very few people can say that they have been a singing mermaid, a singing casket, and was literally “elevator music” when she was hired to sing and play piano in a moving elevator. Meet Karen Drucker. Karen has recorded 15 CDs of her original inspirational music, and is the author of an inspirational book, “Let Go of the Shore: Stories and Songs That Set the Spirit Free.” Among her many accomplishments, she has been a professional comedienne, led her own band for corporate events, and has been the music director of New Thought Churches, as well as music director and “ music weaver” for many spiritual conferences and retreats.

TITLE A Discussion About Empaths and The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) GUEST Colette Davenport EPISODE OVERVIEW Colette talks about the differences between Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) and Empaths. Colette gives us steps and tools to help us figure out if it is our own emotions, or if we are picking up on the emotions of other people. We discuss the care and feeling of an empath, and how what we consume, food or in our environment, can impact us. Colette also discusses medical challenges, and how she has been working with a biohacker to overcome these. She discusses the brain/gut connection, and muscle testing. HIGHLIGHTS Empaths – internalize the emotional states of others. HSPs externalize emotional states of others Empaths have a hard time expressing feelings, and absorb the energy of others. They experience stomach aches, headaches, tightness in chest and these may not be their own. Is the feeling mine, or someone elses? The basic care and feeding of an empath How to get grounded What we “consume”—food, emotions, news, friends, thoughts Shifting what we think is wrong with us to seeing our superpowers Brain/gut connection—can cause depression, anxiety, difficulties with concentration What is muscle testing Colette has hypoglossal schwannoma – a tumor on her brainstem How to take your energy back Shift perspective—we are not weak or we are not sponges We are capable, strong, competent Let our defenses down—stop protecting ourselves Stop trying to help others—witness, support, being, listening, “light and love,” allowing others to be who they are Stop taking responsibility for others and shine light on them Embody and exemplify in the world 4 Step process See the situation for what it is Distinguish between the situation and what happened inside of you (we all have a soul wound/core wounding) Feel the feelings It can be uncomfortable, but it’s about diving into the feelings Call back the castoffs Welcome back the parts of ourselves that we deem unlovable/unacceptable We must have unconditional love for self (self-compassion) Re-state the facts—identify statement—I am…. Deeply buried belief about self that is false Colleen’s soul wound “I am an ugly disgusting waste of time” “I’m a beautiful magnetic woman that people love to be with.” Truth QUOTES I’m a beautiful, magnetic person that people love to be with. Highly sensitive people feel their feelings, and they want that for the world. My understanding of the difference between Highly Sensitive People, and empaths is that as empaths we take in and get lost in the emotional states of others. The Soul Wound, our deepest, most buried powerful pain. We have to restore wholeness, by loving those parts that we feel are unlovable. BIO Colette Davenport is a Master Empath and CEO of Badass Empath United, a global organization that provides personal and professional development exclusively for empaths. She is an international coach and speaker, and author of Get Your Magic Back. Colette’s 20+ years of experience in the relationship field, along with her personal health crisis, and her fine tuned empathic abilities generated a unique vision for the future of the highly sensitive community. She believes empaths can only live up to their full potential through emotional mastery and speaking their truth. When this happens on a global scale, the world as we know it will shift from fear to love. “In my early experience as an empath, not having the awareness and tools to navigate my sensitivities made me feel broken and alone. My self-esteem was tied to the acceptance of others. I made myself sick trying to fit in and be normal, and as such, I suffered from depression, anxiety, and addiction. Over the course of two decades I’ve learned how to establish healthy boundaries, speak my truth, give zero f*cks about fitting in, and connect deeply with people who get me. I share my wisdom and systems with other empaths who are ready to be the bada**es they were born to be.” PODCAST HOST Patricia Young works with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) helping them in understanding their HSP traits, and turning their perceived shortcomings into superpowers.

Episode 33 TITLE Parenting Differently Wired Kids GUEST Deborah Reber EPISODE OVERVIEW Podcast host, and parent to a neurodivergent son who is twice exceptional, gifted, has ADHD, and experiences challenges with Executive Functioning and Sensory Issues, Debbie talks about how parents can support their differently wired kids. Is authoritarian parenting effective? What is attachment parenting, and how does our culture view nurturing vs. coddling? What is executive functioning? Are kids really being manipulative or is it due to lagging skills? How can we help our kids have a sense of agency, control and self-direction? What is scaffolding, and how do we teach this to our kids? Debbie gives a special message to kids who are differently wired, and a message to their parents. HIGHLIGHTS Why self-care is imperative as parents Why vulnerability and open communication with our kids is crucial How parents can support their differently wired kids A message for parents who have kids who are differently wired A message for the kids who are differently wired Our expectations before we have a child (children), and the shifts we have an opportunity to make once we have a child who is wired differently than we are. We can choose to be authoritative parents, or parent the way we had planned, or we have an opportunity to really learn from our child and change how we parent Scaffolding—what is it and why is it important Authoritative parenting—is it effective? Our culture typically doesn’t want us to coddle or spoil our children, when in fact, we may be meeting their needs for attachment and learning in really healthy and adaptive ways (but feeling guilty because we’re not being strict or structured enough) Executive functioning and lagging skills—what is it and why is it important to know about this Kids do the best they can—Ross Greene ADHD (and other neurodiversities) are consistently inconsistent. It can look like manipulation or stubbornness or willfulness, but it’s about lagging skills Where compassion comes in to play with parenting neurodivergent kids (for the parents and the child) BIO Deborah Reber is a parenting activist, New York Times bestselling author, podcast host, and speaker who moved her career in a more personal direction in 2016 when she founded TiLT Parenting, a website, weekly podcast, and social media community for parents like her who are raising differently wired children.

Patricia was gracious enough to admit how she felt when we were interviewing. HSP - Highly Sensitive People is who she realized she was. We chatted about her eating disorder and admitting herself into a 9 1/2 month clinic at 30 years old. Learning feelings were new but having a strong desire to connect was not. Raised by a single mom who was anxious and whose rules had rules, with no self-soothing tools, Patricia turned to food to feel better. I loved talking about the story we make up in our heads --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-naked-podcaster/message Support this podcast

TITLE How to Work with Our Feelings When They’re Bigger and Stronger Than We Want Them to Be GUEST Solo Episode EPISODE OVERVIEW It’s not uncommon for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) to have strong emotional reactions to things. We may not be able to control our initial reaction(s), but we can learn ways to master how we choose to respond. When we think our feelings are bigger than we are, we are going to feel overwhelmed. I talk about a recent experience where I had a bigger emotional and physical reaction to a situation, and I share the tools that I used to move through this experience. HIGHLIGHTS Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) are deep thinkers and deep feelers. This means we are likely to respond more to things than others do. There is nothing wrong with having a strong emotional reaction to something We can learn tools to master how we choose to respond (which is different than the reaction that we have) When we find ourselves having a strong emotional reaction, it’s really important to name what’s going on This doesn’t mean we have to DO anything. The practice of observing what’s happening; identifying it, and stating what’s going on (naming it), is the first step To me, the word reaction is what happens automatically. I don’t have control over my initial reaction. It’s what happens internally. I don’t have to DO anything about my initial reaction What I do after I have a reaction is what I call my response. I have time to feel my feels, think about my reaction, and then I choose how I want to respond I share about having to go clothes shopping to buy some pants for a 7 day silent retreat I will be attending, and how this triggered an emotional reaction While shopping, I got triggered with body-image issues; my issues around spending money came up, and all of a sudden, sweets looked really appealing to me (because I was having feelings) In spite of mastering my emotional reactions/responses in other areas of my life, this was an area that I hadn’t had an opportunity to apply new skills to I found myself feeling tired, overwhelmed, discourages (in spite of having found what I needed—the shopping trip was a success, but my feelings told me otherwise Often we have expectations that we’re not even aware of. Then when something unexpected happens, we find ourselves upset, frustrated, disappointed, and we don’t understand why we’re feeling this way. When this happens, it’s not uncommon for us to go into self-blame—there’s something wrong with me; I shouldn’t be feeling this way. We also tend to negate our experience because we’re having strong feelings Often when we’re having uncomfortable feelings, the mind wants to make up stories to match our intense feelings, and this often begins what I call circling the drain. This is NOT a helpful place that we go We often judge our feelings, and THAT’S what makes us feel badly! When we can just allow our feelings to be, and curiously observe them, they are not as strong and powerful. When we judge our feelings, we feel worse, and we tend to stay in those uncomfortable feelings longer, and we continue to make up stories in our head to justify the uncomfortable feelings We can look with curiosity—what happened? What came up for you? What were your expectations? When we don’t name our feelings, the feelings can feel bigger than we are—that can be scary and overwhelming We are bigger than our feelings Feelings are just feelings—they come and go When we focus on the process—the actual steps we took (I went shopping; I tried on clothes; I looked for things; I experienced some body-image; I had money issues come up; I felt uncomfortable) and we emphasize what we DID and not the outcome, this creates a shift We may still be having feelings; that’s ok. The goal is NOT to get rid of the feelings. It’s to observe them; feel them; name them and honor them We CAN tolerate uncomfortable feelings We can also predispose that when we engage in certain activities, we may feel disappointed, frustrated, low energy etc. This helps to “prepare” us for feelings that may come up I’ve found it really helpful to “set the bar really low” so that no matter what happens, we experience success Many HSPs tend to have really high expectations, so we often feel frustrated and angry with ourselves due to perceived failure, when in fact, we just have really unrealistic expectations When you find yourself reacting, you can get really curious and think about how is it you think you’re “supposed” to be feeling, or how you want to be feeling It’s important to allow yourself a LOT of grace for where you’re at It’s temporary; you will feel differently later on. It’s just a blip on the radar When we fight the feelings/reactions/responses we’re having, it causes US more suffering It can be messy, uncomfortable and it takes a lot of practice to learn to be with our feelings, but there are so many gifts on the other side of the discomfort The more we practice, the more we get mastery over being with our feelings and moving through them PODCAST HOST Patricia Young is a Life Coach in California. Patricia works with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) helping them understand their HSP traits, and turning their perceived shortcomings into superpowers. Patricia is passionate about providing education to help HSPs and non-HSPs understand and truly appreciate all the gifts we have to offer. Patricia works globally online with HSPS providing coaching. We meet over a private platform (similar to Skype), and you can have coaching from the privacy of your own home—when the kids are at school or are napping; from work; in your pajamas, or when you just can’t face sitting in traffic or going out.

Bonus Episode 49 TITLE What Happens When We Get Triggered by Multiple Things GUEST Solo Episode EPISODE OVERVIEW Sometimes it’s hard enough to manage getting overwhelmed or triggered, but when there are multiple things are that causing us stress or triggering us, it really can be much harder to manage. I talk about some recent triggers that happened at the same time, and how I managed (very imperfectly, and the negative, fearful, and judgmental thoughts that came up). The use of self-compassion is SO important especially when we are having human experiences. HIGHLIGHTS Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) are deep thinkers and deep feelers.
