TITLE
Loyalty—How We Perceive Things Differently, & Relationships
GUEST
Solo Episode
EPISODE OVERVIEW
Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) tend to be incredibly loyal. This can pose a challenge when we’re in relationships that aren’t working for us. Some HSPs struggle with conflict and setting boundaries; because we feel more empathy, we can imagine how the other person might feel. HSPs notice things that others don’t, which can also create challenges when we perceive things, and we feel that no one else gets why we’re upset (or why certain behaviors don’t work, or aren’t acceptable to us). We have an opportunity to validate what we experience.
