223. What I've learned about people being triggered by me (& how it helped me heal my friendship abandonment wounds) | Not Too Sensitive
Nov 11, 2025In this episode, Alissa shares a deeply personal lesson about learning to stay grounded when others are triggered by your authenticity.
From feeling like an outsider as a sensitive child to navigating judgment as an adult and business owner, she opens up about how these moments have shaped her self-trust and confidence.
This is an invitation to stop watering yourself down, to let others have their reactions, and to find freedom in knowing that being true to yourself is not something you need to apologize for.
What you'll learn:
- Why highly sensitive people often feel “othered” or misunderstood
- How people-pleasing develops as a safety mechanism
- What it really means when others are triggered by your authenticity
- The deeper lesson behind rejection and judgment
- How to reframe triggers as opportunities for empowerment
- Steps to expand your tolerance for discomfort and self-trust
