Why do some people feel emotions faster, deeper, and more intensely than others? In this episode, we explore the science of emotional sensitivity, including temperament, nervous system reactivity, and how the brain processes emotional information. You’ll learn how factors like stress physiology, early experiences, and emotion regulation skills shape emotional intensity—and why sensitivity is not a weakness. This episode offers science-backed insight and practical tools for managing intense emotions without trying to suppress them.
