Ever wondered why highly sensitive people (HSPs) often struggle with anger? In this episode of Compassionate Conversations, psychotherapist Esther Kane dives into the intricacies of how HSPs process and internalise anger. Esther shares her extensive experience working with HSP clients, explaining that while non-HSPs tend to express anger outwardly, HSPs often shove it down, leading to various mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
She vividly describes how this repressed anger can manifest in harmful ways, including problematic relationships with food and other addictions. Esther introduces the concept of somatic experiencing, a therapeutic approach focusing on bodily sensations rather than intellectualising emotions. She praises this method for its effectiveness in helping HSPs release pent-up anger safely. Esther also recommends practical tools like the Theraband flex bar, which she demonstrates as a way to physically release anger without the negative repercussions of more aggressive methods.
Throughout the episode, Esther's compassionate and humorous tone makes complex psychological concepts accessible and relatable. She shares her personal journey with repressed anger and how somatic experiencing has been transformative for her own mental health. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the unique challenges faced by HSPs and looking for practical advice on managing anger in a healthy way.
