Did you know Hypervigilance, a common symptom of trauma? It keeps the nervous system in a heightened state, making it difficult for HSPs to trust their gut feelings. Learn how to manage this exhausting emotional state and protect your mental health. We explore the pitfalls of hypervigilance & continued anger & outrage in advocacy, especially for people who are working to heal trauma & struggle to keep the body in a state of calm. To thrive as empaths we must understand how we react & take radical ownership over the state of our own mind-bodies. This year has shown me that the work of emotional boundaries & radical permission to do what's necessary to heal--even when it's unpopular--has never been more important.

How can understanding archetypes like the bully, victim and addict improve your mental health journey? By picking battles we can avoid burnout and have the energy to fight the ones we decide need fighting. We work to hold space for our light & dark selves with wholeness while letting go of taking things personally. In this work we stay connected to true self vs. chasing the unavailable ideal which is the essence of unconditional self love. Embracing both light and dark aspects of these archetypes can transform how you see yourself. By recognizing these internal characters, Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) can achieve unconditional self-love and navigate trauma with more resilience.

Is your inner critic sabotaging your mental health? I've never met a highly sensitive person who didn't have an overdeveloped inner-critic. This inner bully robs our progress, dis-empowers, and devalues who we are, especially when our energies are low. Without addressing the inner critic, we are at risk of digging mental health holes that become deeper and more difficult to crawl out of. You were never meant to be in a hole, rather, you were meant to stand tall and proud at the peak of the mountain of life. Learn how to reframe these thoughts for better mental health. This episode explores the impact of negative self-talk on Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and trauma survivors. We discuss mindfulness techniques to observe and counteract the inner critic's voice, replacing it with positive affirmations. Discover practical steps to enhance your self-care routine and promote emotional resilience.

Awakenings mature us, force listening & expansion that turns into wisdom. Other human beings help us trust reality & our experience. As we mature, old ideas of youth have fallen away, ideals replace reality. In healing, we learn to accept the inadequacies & immaturity of others & ourselves while we grow into more adequacy, efficacy, & responsibility. By therapeutically providing a positive energy & lessons for our inner children, we fill in our voids, & maturity expands.

Many of you have probably heard of the ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences Study.) Here, I break down the emotional and psychological effects of each adverse childhood experience, which completely muck up our natural, healthy boundaries and limits. Because of those experiences, we end up working a lifetime to re-calibrate them. This is one of the main reasons I teach the boundaries course.

Feeling overwhelmed by your high sensitivity?

(HSP) Highly Sensitive People can initially feel like this is burdensome, but with proper fine-tuning and acceptance, it becomes a unique gift.

Sharing some of my own road through poverty, struggle, and humbling myself in the name of survival. I hope it helps anyone who is out there facing economic uncertainty, fear, and (hopefully not) desperation. I name the societal shame trap of facing 'taking a job that's beneath me,' and that financial hardship is a major player in suicidal ideation and a continuation of anxiety/depression and PTSD symptoms. As many enter (or deepen) financial uncertainty within our covid economy, I want to keep talking about money, hope, resiliency, surviving to thriving, understanding these deep and tender, generational and worth-impacting dynamics. For the record, our worth as individuals does not change. My worth and your worth remain, fixed, no matter our financial value or comfort, if there is one dollar or millions, even when our feelings try to say otherwise. How does poverty uniquely affect highly sensitive people (HSPs) and what can be done to build resilience in these challenging times? This episode addresses the emotional impact of financial hardship on HSPs, exploring personal experiences and effective mental health strategies. We discuss the role of societal shame, the connection between poverty and suicidal ideation, and practical tips for overcoming financial stress while maintaining mental health. By sharing stories of resilience and providing empowering advice, we offer support to those facing economic uncertainty. Learn how to navigate these deep, generational issues and understand that your worth remains unchanged, regardless of your financial situation.
