Episode 3149:
Lisa Petsinis opens by explaining what high sensitivity actually is: an innate trait rather than a disorder, found in about twenty percent of people, in which the nervous system takes in far more of the environment than most. In this first part she walks through what that means day to day for a partner, covering deep feeling and absorbed emotion, acute hearing, food sensitivities, a sharpened sense of smell, and responsiveness to touch. It is practical relationship advice for anyone who has wondered why small things land so much harder for the person they love.
