Update After The Holidays When I Lost My Shirt

GUEST

Solo episode—Patricia Young

EPISODE OVERVIEW

How we get our needs met when we are in a family or community of non-HSPs. Even with other Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), we don’t always have the same needs, and it can be challenging to assert ourselves and work as a community so everyone gets their needs met. I recap the Thanksgiving break when my twins came home from college with a roommate and the other’s girlfriend, and we had kids sleeping on the couch, and I lost my dedicated work space. I was irritable, depleted, and not my best self. Bonus Episode 21 is called I Lost My Shirt! (and it’s Not About the Gravy), and on Bonus Episode 23 How to Care For Ourselves When We’re Feeling Depleted and Bonus Epsiode 24 Working Together and Respecting Different Needs and Expectations I share about how difficult and disruptive it is to have HSP needs, and not realize it. In this episode I talk about how we did it differently, and how it worked out.
