Summary

Predators can detect trauma on highly sensitive people, and it on us to learn how to stop broadcasting vulnerability. Our body language, posture, and energy signals either invite predatory behavior or repel it, and you can shift this immediately. The signs are specific: shrinking to appear smaller, avoiding eye contact, over-apologizing, and moving through the world trying to be invisible. These patterns read as "easy target" to manipulators and abusers. The fix starts with practicing boundaries in low-stakes situations, trusting your gut even when it feels confusing, and understanding that when someone rushes intimacy or isolates you from support systems, your body knows something's wrong before your mind catches up. The goal isn't avoiding all predators but recognizing targeting fast, cutting off access immediately, and becoming so boundaried that manipulators pass you over like a house with a barking dog.

Every time you trust your gut, hold a boundary, seek support from actually supportive people,

or exit quickly before you have to see the evidence of master manipulation, you're becoming dangerous to predators.

0:16.0

You're ruining their games. That makes you an emotional badass. For people who once had so many games played

on them to be able to refuse, refute, dismiss, deny access to any game play in you,

0:33.7

that is a strength, that is a security that nobody else can give you, but boy, can you give it to yourself?

0:40.3

And that is strength. Here's another very important, actionable thing that you can do right now.

0:48.0

You can do this before your trauma has been fully processed and metabolized. You can change your body language. And I know you can do that

0:56.2

because you can do it right now. Sit up a little taller. Stand a little taller if you're walking.

1:02.5

Spread your clavicles, spread your shoulders as opposed to caving in. Think about how that reads

1:09.1

to a predator in the wild. Take up space. Predators look for

shrinking energy. Self-defense isn't just physical, it's energetic posture. Hello and welcome to the

1:23.4

show. This is Emotional Badass where Moxie meets Mindful. I'm your host, Nikki Eisenhower,

life coach and psychotherapist. And on today's episode, we are diving into part two. How highly

1:36.9

sensitive people can stop presenting as prey. We want to become dangerous to predators, y'all.

1:46.2

If you haven't listened to part one, I want to become dangerous to predators, y'all. If you haven't listened to Part 1, I want to invite you to just hit pause on this one and go find Part 1 so that this part 2 can make sense to you.

1:55.9

All right.

y'all. On the very first podcast I was ever a guest on, it was the highly sensitive person

podcast. She's no longer doing it. It hasn't been for years. But the very first topic I chose to speak about publicly

2:18.9

was how highly sensitive people and narcissists are attracted to one another. So this is a very

2:25.6

important topic to understand on our healing journeys. We have to bring awareness to what is going on

with our body language, our vibes, the energy we put
