The life of the highly sensitive person is often misunderstood. Highly sensitive aren't just people who cry too much or get overwhelmed, take things too personally: they actually take in so much of the world that it can be too much. They feel everything, from joy to sadness, so immediately and profoundly. They are also so in tune with the emotions of all those around them that sometimes it can be too much. Today we break down the psychology of the highly sensitive person, including: 
What are the core assessment criteria for identifying if you're highly sensitive?
What causes someone to be highly sensitive? 
The genetic, personality, parental and temperment contribution 
The link between sensitivity, IQ, EQ and creativity + the gentle superpower of sensitive people 
Do highly sensitive people have more empathy? 
The link between neurodivergence and sensitivity 
How to explain your sensitivity to others 
How to make the world work for your gentle, feeling soul, and so much more!

This episode is FULL of tips, research and studies. Listen now!

The psychology of highly sensitive people

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/b5e52da3-ea80-454b-9cd0-b48d00b6238d/transcript

You know when someone seems to breeze through life, can approach any social situation and challenge with such self-assured confidence? It seems innate - something they were born with. But what if that's not true? What if, instead of a fixed personal trait, confidence is actually a set of learnable abilities, a dynamic skill that anyone can cultivate, sharpen, and ultimately master? Today, we’re challenging the notion that confidence is a trait, and instead something you build.

Things we discuss:
Why confidence is dynamic and adaptable
Self-efficacy as a driver of confidence
How "growth mindsets" can revolutionise your approach to challenges and setbacks
Understanding the locus of control to fuel or hinder your forward momentum
Actionable strategies to build your confidence from the ground up

If you’ve ever thought, “if only I was just born confident”, this episode is for you.

The psychology of confidence

Sigmund Freud is one of the most famous and contested names in psychology. Often reduced to couches, cigars, dreams, sex, and blaming everything on your mother, Freud’s real story is much more complicated. In this bonus episode, we take a look at who Freud actually was - his medical background, the development of his method, and why his views are so context specific.

We explore:
• The development of free association 
• The role of dreams and transference
• Defence mechanisms and the unconscious
• The structural model of the human psyche
• Challenges to his theory
• Freud's legacy: Anna and modern-day psychoanalysis
