TITLE
How to Care for Ourselves When We are Depleted
GUEST
Solo episode—Patricia Young
EPISODE OVERVIEW
After having 4 teenagers staying with us for 9 very long days, I talk about how depleted I am, and how challenging it was to be the only HSP who is sensitive to sounds, people and noise in a household of 6. It brought back those old feelings of feeling like I’m a freak and not asserting myself because I felt like I was being too picky. I realize that I need to assert my needs and figure out how to negotiate with others in order to have an environment that works for everyone. I realize that because of this, I haven’t done a very good job of teaching my boys how to be sensitive and considerate of others’ needs. I always made it about me, and I didn’t require them to be more mindful about this. They kids will be back for close to a month over spring break, so it will be important for me come up with some ways to allow myself to maintain peace and balance.
