Highly sensitive people can be more prone to stress and trauma
Manage episode 436358067 series 3290787
"Sensitive people are more prone to stress because we are picking up so much more information from the internal and external environment."
Dr. Natasha Fallahi, a mind-body health expert, functional medicine practitioner, known as “The Sensitive Doctor,” says trauma arises from overwhelm in situations when we can’t fully process and integrate our experiences.
Publisher The Shift Network writes:
"Dr. Natasha explains that trauma is essentially an experience of overwhelm that occurs anytime you’re unable to process and integrate something — then, in a maddening twist, this same trauma opens you up to absorbing more energetic information, adding to your overwhelm.
"When you can’t return to your homeostatic baseline where you feel like your true self, your mind, body, and spirit can get stuck in a liminal state of distress...
"Thankfully, there is a way to step off this treadmill and learn how to maintain an energetic balance for your uniquely sensitive system. The principles of psychoneuroimmunology hold the answer, says Dr. Natasha."

The information page notes:
"Sensory Overload tends to be one of our biggest challenges. It is when our senses take in more information than our brain can keep up with processing.
"You might be surprised that it is often the culprit of symptoms of emotional reactivity, anxiety, irritability, sleep issues, exhaustion, and even loss of productivity, creativity, and focus.
“What makes it extra hard is that the world isn’t set up for those of us with high sensitivity."
