Highly Sensitive People, How to Repair, and Talking About Talking: November Mailbag

What can I do if my partner dominates conversations about our relationship? How can I navigate situations where I want to repair, but other people don’t? What’s a “highly sensitive person,” and how does it relate to conditions like complex PTSD, ADHD, and autism? In this episode of Being Well, Dr. Rick and I open up the mailbag and answer questions from listeners.
