44. The Highly Sensitive Man (Part 2) - a podcast by Kelly O

Last week, in part 1, I talked about the challenges of being a male HSP.

There is a cultural expectation that women are more emotional and sensitive than men and that men should be tough and stoic. This expectation could clash with the traits of being an HSP, for men.

Today, I talk about how to deal with those challenges as well as the positives of being an HSP and a man.

Resources mentioned in this episode:

• Ted Zeff's article about highly sensitive men on Dr. Elaine Aron's website


• WSJ Article on HSPs (and my response to it)
