JOSEPHINE HARDMAN, PHD
About this episode

Are you a bit of a control freak? Do you often feel "on edge" or as though you have to scan the horizon for possible danger? Yup, me too! In this episode, I discuss how can we move beyond the egoic need to control our environment, our own behavior, and others' reactions to us. I also talk about hypervigilance and the possible causes of this painful habit of watching out for danger and feeling unsafe in the world. The episode ends with a blessing to cultivate safety and belonging in your body and in the world.

 

To connect with me, you can visit Purefield. I offer one-on-one healing sessions for highly sensitive women all over the world. You can also find me on Instagram.

 

Thank you so much for listening, and please keep doing your inner work!
