Are you a highly sensitive individual who struggles with managing your big feelings? In this episode, we discuss what big feelings are and how they can become overwhelming for highly sensitive people. We explore the concept of emotional permanence, which is the idea that emotions can feel permanent and all-encompassing when we're experiencing them. We also delve into emotional dysregulation, which is the difficulty in regulating emotions, leading to intense and often unpredictable emotional reactions. We also discuss how individuals who struggle with emotion dysregulation can inadvertently emotionally abuse the people they love without being conscious of it.
