#77 | When Small Events Cause Big Stress: Managing Overwhelm as a Highly Sensitive Person

Stress Management for Highly Sensitive People (HSP): Inner Work and Strategies for Coping with Stress, Overwhelm, and Negative Emotions - A podcast by Todd Smith

Categories:

In this episode of the Wiggle Room Podcast, an Open Session participant does The Work on a tiny situation picking blueberries at a farm. She felt a little stress when another picker started picking blueberries from the same bush as she. I love less serious pieces of work like this for they turn out to hold the same issues in miniature form.    You can also listen to this podcast wherever you get your podcasts. If you’re new to podcasts, here’s a review article by PCMagazine on the best podcast apps to use. If you find one that Wiggle Room is not on, let me know and I’ll be happy to add it there too.
