Summary

What would it take for you to let go of desperation and embrace peace? Desperation is a learned survival mechanism that keeps Highly Sensitive People stuck in cycles of anxiety and overthinking. This episode explores how recognizing physical and mental health cues like restlessness, compulsive behaviors, and irrational thinking can help you reclaim control over your emotions and nervous system. Learn to use mindfulness and self-compassion as tools to shift from reactive survival patterns to a better mental health state of calm, thriving, and emotional resilience.
