Summary

What are we made of? Have you been thinking about this since hearing the nursery rhyme; snips & snails & puppy dogs' tails? I HAVE. This episode is about the differences & similarities between HSPs & Energy Vampires. It takes understanding of these dynamics for a HSP to shield (with boundaries) against emotional vampire-ing & stop allowing yourself to get sucked in. As adults we can do what we couldn't as children---learn how to keep energy vampires OUT and our energy IN. With practical strategies for boundary-setting and self-care, this episode equips HSPs to maintain their mental health and build healthier relationships. Discover how to recognize and protect yourself from energy vampires.
