Description

In this episode, I share stories about things that have grossed me out--a cow lung, pinning insects, and dissecting pigs. I also discuss how HSPs might get "grossed out" more than people without the trait--touching on the vasovagel response.

Are you highly observant and conscientious? Do you experience joy, discomfort, empathy, and emotions very intensely? Are you easily overstimulated or bothered by small changes in your environment? You aren’t alone. You just might be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). In this podcast, host and blogger Kelly shares real-life experiences that may have you nodding and thinking: “I thought I was the only one who felt that way”! Introverts, people with shyness and social anxiety may also find comfort and camaraderie here. Remember--you aren’t crazy or weird…just highly sensitive!
