SENSI

The finale of season one is upon us and in it we discuss rupture: Energy, generated. Energy that wants to go somewhere. Energy that HAS to go somewhere.

Our emotions are energy and this energy informs…

(TW) Now that the concept of sensitivity has been explored in its own right, let's visit oversensitivity and see what is left.

Trigger warning because self-harm and death are mentioned again.

In the previous episode, we begin to play with the idea of our self-image and sense of self, what undermines it and how we can build it into a space where the stereotype is a non-issue. In this episo…

I open the episode referring to the third episode about’ erecting a monument to our feelings’… this episode does not exist. It was removed because I raaaambled the most ramble I’ve ever rambled and n…

As mentioned in the self-pity episode, we sensites hold tight to our hurts because we want to give them the consideration we feel they lack from others. This can cause further damage, yes, but in thi…

The use of manipulation has been mentioned before in the crying episode but in this episode we focus on the five W’s of manipulation itself (the who, what, where, when, and why) and its relationship …

(TW) Sensitive people are not by nature destructive people. When it becomes destructive it is necessary to ask what caused that destruction. And, how can resources serve us better?

Trigger warning for…

Episode thirteen, although related to episode twelve, is not about “being offended”. It is about being the offense: rubbing people the wrong way, making others uncomfortable, and feeling unwelcome, a…

Episode twelve focuses on the sensite’s response to (perceived) indiscretions. This episode was originally titled “SENSITIVITY and A SENSE OF HUMOUR” or “SENSITIVITY as BEING OFFENDED BY EVERYTHING”.

…

This episode goes off on the definitions of a word and applying those definitions to different aspects of sensitivity to help challenge the unconscious beliefs we hold regarding the two “opposites”. …

Welcome to the halfway point of the season. How is it holding up so far? Lemme know.

In this episode, I focus on how the ‘weakness’ of a sensite’s character creates environments of being patronized a…

Can you think of any more supreme example of the stereotype? Yes, crying can be a resource and has legitimate benefits for us but it can be a cop out. I talk about why it is a go-to and how we do it …

Again, pretty self-explanatory. A preoccupation with self. Egotistical. A non-resourceful state. But as the point always is here, we discuss the how and why. We bring to light how, although licking o…

The first time the podcast is named! Here is your official welcome to SENSI. Happy that you are here!

This episode is one I am partial to. I didn’t know it going in but I appreciate how the concept w…

In this episode, we discuss the rigidity of social etiquette and how it can trap or aggravate sensitivity, and I propose the idea of emotional etiquette to inform social etiquette.

Recorded August 7,…

This episode is pointed toward sensitive people and a shortfall that undermines our integrity. This shortfall is the correlation we assume between (1) our feelings and our behaviours, and (2) our fee…

The title is self-explanatory. The stereotype of ‘you can’t handle emotions’, and ‘you can’t see beyond your current perspective’, includes your reactivity. So how is it a fair judgement? Because alt…

And we hit our stride! Welcome to the beginning of full-length episodes. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

As a sensitive person, you have likely been told that you take yourself too seriously. Y…

When does ‘Pull up your bootstraps!’, ‘Toughen up!’, and ‘Take it like a man!’ mean ‘your humanity is showing’ and we don’t like it?

The stereotype says that sensitive people can’t handle their own em…

“Welcome to the Half Baked Podcast”??? Lemme explain. I had started a podcast that was recorded on a whim, with very few notes, and no specific outcome in mind…. until I realized that it was always c…
