Feeling emotionally stuck can be so frustrating, especially when you don’t understand why it’s happening. As a highly sensitive introvert, I know how easy it is to get caught in cycles of overthinking, avoidance, or numbness when emotions feel too heavy to face.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reasons HSPs get stuck, the signs to watch for, and simple steps you can use to gently move forward. You’ll learn how to name and process your feelings through journaling, shift out of self-judgment, and create small self-care rituals that help you feel lighter and more resilient.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or trapped in the same emotional patterns, this conversation will remind you that being stuck isn’t failure, it’s feedback. And with the right tools, you can move through it with more clarity, compassion, and calm.

If you’ve been struggling with overwhelm, emotional burnout, or resentment, this conversation will show you how boundaries can become a powerful form of self-care and help you build emotional resilience without losing connection.

“Do I just have anger issues, or am I a highly sensitive person?” If you’ve ever asked yourself this, you’re not alone. As an HSP, your emotions can feel intense, and anger might be the one that gets your attention most.

But here’s the truth: HSPs experience all emotions deeply, not just anger. And often, what looks like anger is really fear, grief, or shame underneath. In this episode, I’m sharing how to tell the difference between HSP emotional intensity and true anger management challenges.

We’ll talk about signs of aggression, why HSP is a temperament (not a mental health disorder), and how emotional regulation skills can help you feel calmer and more in control.

If you’ve struggled with emotional overwhelm, overthinking, or feeling misunderstood in your reactions, this episode will help you find clarity and compassion for yourself.
