215. THIS Is What's Blocking You From Using Your Emotional Intelligence As A Strength | The Not Too Sensitive Podcast

In this episode, Alissa dives into one of the biggest blocks highly sensitive people face: INSECURITY.

She explores how self-doubt and second-guessing can cloud your emotional intelligence—turning what should be a powerful superpower into a source of hypervigilance and overthinking.

Through personal stories and practical examples, Alissa explains how insecurities often cause HSPs to take things personally, spiral into self-blame, and unintentionally block authentic connection.

She shares how doing the inner work of healing old wounds allows you to show up with clean energy, hold space for others, and leverage your sensitivity as the gift it truly is.

• How insecurity clouds your emotional intelligence and keeps you stuck
