260. Am I Overreacting, or Do I Actually Need a Boundary? An HSP Guide to Trusting Your Own Reaction | The Not Too Sensitive Podcast

In this episode, Alissa tackles a question she hears constantly. "How do you know if you're actually allowed to be upset, or if you're just being too sensitive?" 

If you've ever replayed a conversation for days, questioned your own reaction, or wondered if you made something out of nothing, this one's for you. 

Alissa traces that self-doubt back to where it actually started, and what it takes to fully trust yourself even when someone else insists you're overreacting.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why the question "am I overreacting or do I have a right to be upset" usually points to a deeper lack of self-trust
• Why the people who dismissed your reactions were often responding from their own depletion
• What writing out your personal values and boundaries does for you in the middle of a triggering moment
• How to recognize when a reaction is bigger than the situation because it's hitting an old wound
• Why "cleaning up your side of the street" comes before deciding whether a boundary conversation is necessary
