👉 Subscribe to The Sensitive Insider for exclusive Q&As, insights, stories, and your weekly dose of sensitive inspiration! Big feelings can feel like a rollercoaster—unpredictable, intense, and full of twists and turns. But what if embracing the ups, downs, and all arounds is exactly what makes the ride thrilling instead of scary? That’s exactly what we’re exploring in this episode of The Sensitive Professionals Podcast. I’m joined by the ever-inspiring Sarah Gallacher, Clinical Director of the Purple House Clinic in Edinburgh and a seasoned forensic psychologist. Sarah’s deep expertise in psychology and her personal experience as a neurodivergent individual make her uniquely positioned to talk about sensitivity through the lens of ADHD and neurodivergence. We explore the emotional landscapes of ADHD and sensitivity, how they intersect, and the lessons Sarah has learned navigating life as both a psychologist and a sensitive professional. WHAT WE DIVE INTO ·     The challenges and gifts of emotional intensity. ·     Sensory processing differences: ADHD vs. sensitivity. ·     The importance of reframing rejection sensitivity. ·     Navigating hyper-vigilance in relationships. ·     Strategies to manage emotional overwhelm as a sensitive or neurodivergent individual. Sarah’s insights highlight the rich interplay between sensitivity and neurodivergence, encouraging us to embrace our differences as strengths. If you’ve ever struggled to understand your emotions or feel deeply connected to others, this conversation will resonate.
