157. [BONUS] How To Become Less Bothered...

Alissa Boyer
About this episode

In today's episode, we talk about how to manage personal triggers and emotional responses as a highly sensitive person (HSP). I touch on the importance of viewing challenges as opportunities for growth and learning and share a recent personal experience of handling negative comments and messages on social media, explaining the emotional impact and the strategies used to remain unaffected. In this episode I also highlight the significance of setting boundaries, recognizing when others project their insecurities onto you, and the practice of mental techniques such as cord-cutting to protect one's peace. The ultimate message here is about choosing to be less affected by external triggers and seeking growth from difficult experiences.
