JOSEPHINE HARDMAN, PHD
About this episode

This episode of TRIGGERED! is going out to my fellow highly sensitive people and empaths. Do you sometimes (still) get triggered when you feel you're "too sensitive", or if someone else makes you feel that you are, or if you even have the slightest inkling that someone might be perceiving you that way? Yup, me too! 

Especially if you grew up hearing that you're too sensitive, or you need to grow a thicker skin, or you take things too personally, you might have developed a sense of shame about your sensitivity. In this episode, we dive into the experience of feeling shame about our heightened sensitivity and what we can do with that shame when it gets triggered.

To connect with me directly or share your own triggers so we can work through them together, please head over to www.josephinehardman.com or send an email to me@josephinehardman.com 

I'd also love to hear if this episode spoke to you!

Thank you for being here, as always.
