About this episode
"Imagine there is a motor inside you. Most people whose motor is too fast experience feelings of anxiety." - Sensitivity expert Julie Bjelland.
She comments more about our sensitive nervous system:
"So we have more activation in the brain mirror neuron system...we literally fire some of the same neurons as someone that we're watching and observing. So that's why have moments where we feel like we're feeling what the other person's feeling. And that's a gift.
"But we also have to be careful about protecting our energy and not merging with everybody all the time. And in the Amygdala we see a lot of activation in the fight flight part of the of the HSP brain. And this can definitely create symptoms of anxiety for sure."
