The Sensitivity Doctor

Ever been told you're too sensitive, too emotional, or just too much? Good. You're exactly who this podcast is for.

On The Sensitivity Doctor Podcast, Dr. Amelia Kelley—trauma-informed therapist, author, and fellow Highly Sensitive Person—dives into what it really means to live, love, and lead with sensitivity in a world that often gets it wrong.

From trauma healing and navigating ADHD to setting boundaries, decoding relationships, and reclaiming your voice—no question is too deep, and no part of you is too much.

This is more than a podcast.
It’s your permission slip to stop shrinking and start owning your sensitivity as your power.
