Managing Stress as a Highly Sensitive Person with Todd Smith

Are you able to see, hear or notice subtleties that other people miss?  Do you greatly appreciate art or make it yourself?  If so, you’re likely to be a highly sensitive person.  In this episode, I interview Todd Smith who is a coach who specializes in working with Highly Sensitive People.   He helps them understand themselves, protect themselves from stress, and do the inner work to free themselves up to use the full power of their abilities.  We had a wonderful conversation!  Highly sensitive people make up 15 to 20% of the population and play an important role.  We are like very finely tuned instruments who can detect when something is wrong and gracefully guide others in a better direction.  We are also highly creative.  The trouble is, because we can sense much more than the average person, we can easily get overwhelmed and stressed!  Todd offered some wonderful practical solutions for how to reduce and counteract overstimulation, some of which I am going to try out today!We also took a deep dive into the inner work methods of Byron Katie in her book “The Work”.  In addition, we talked about all the essential elements of healing and why highly sensitive people heal so quickly.  If you’re curious as to whether you are a highly sensitive person, and how stressed you are, you can take Todd’s Highly Sensitive Person Stress Test at trueinnerfreedom.comHe also has a podcast called Stress Management for Highly Sensitive People at https://trueinnerfreedom.com/podcast/.If you enjoyed this episode, definitely tune in every Friday because I will be releasing a new episode each week. If you're interested in a conversation on how you can bring more abundance into your creative life, leave a review of this podcast, take a screenshot of it and email it to [email protected].
