Summary
This episode 38 is about handling criticism. I talk about three little tactics I use to help deal with negative feedback in my life. (Last week I talked about self-criticism, how HSPs often criticize themselves in order to avoid the trauma of criticism from others.)
My new book is out on Amazon: A Highly Sensitive Person's Life: stories & tips for those who experience the world intensely.
