Today with Jenn Turnham, we dive into the world of Highly Sensitive Extroverts (HSP-Es) by learning the difference between introverts and extroverts and how that looks different for Highly Sensitive People.
We cover:
// The difference between an Introvert, Extrovert and Ambivert (how differently our brain works).
// How does that fit in with the HSP model aka HSPe - HSPi - HSPa?
// The contradictions for HSP-Es that make them think they’re introverts
// How HSP-Es can seem like walking contradictions
// Cohabiting for HSP-E
// Introverts aren’t necessarily shy and extroverts aren’t necessarily loud
// How do we manage our HSP-E traits & pitfalls?

![[Revisit Ep 86] When Self-Help Goes Horribly Wrong and How To Prevent It. Feat. Ginny and Jean Brown
While TO4TS is on a break, check out this revisit of a past favourite episode (#086 When Self-Help Goes Horribly Wrong and How To Prevent It). I will return early 2023 with Season 4!!!
What led to the death of 3 individuals seeking to better their life and looking for enlightenment at a James Arthur Ray 5-day event?
Ray was made famous by the movie The Secret and being featured several times on the Oprah Winfrey show.
Together with Kirby Brown’s mother Ginny, a licensed clinical social worker and her sister Jean, we discuss the perfect storm that led to that tragedy, their mission to stop it from ever happening to anyone else and how self-help can be done safely.
We cover:
+ How strong minded people can fall victim to the self-help industry.
+ Tools and dirty tactics used by the self-help industry.
+ What may have contributed to James Ray’s situation.
+ How to not collapse after grief.
+ The legal system is not yet equipped to advocate for the families of [Self-help gone wrong] victims.
+ How to find self-help organisations that have pledged to do no harm and signed [The Promise].
+ What has changed for them in how they perceive life after Kirby’s passing.
