Episode Description from the Publisher

Have you ever been told you're too sensitive? Maybe you take things too personally, overthink, or have a hard time letting things go. According to psychiatrist and ADHD specialist Dr. Sasha Hamdani, some of us are simply wired to process emotions more intensely. And that sensitivity isn't necessarily a weakness. In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Sasha to talk about why some people feel things more deeply and how to better navigate those emotions without letting them take over. We talk about why our brains can turn small moments into big stories and what to do when you feel yourself start to spiral. We also explore how those same qualities can make you more empathetic, perceptive, and emotionally intelligent. And even if you don't identify as sensitive, you'll learn how to better understand and communicate with the people in your life who process emotions differently than you do.
