So I just found this podcast but Andy’s style is very slow and relatable. It is definitely needed in a world that says you have to do this and do that. Almost the cross between a philosopher and counselor. Listen to this show if you want to take a break from the noise of this world and take a breath of fresh air.
Andy does an awesome job of putting words to the kind of angst we face in this noisy world, and more than the insights and ideas he offers for getting unstuck - which are excellent - I value the chance to spend an hour walking alongside a friend and fellow traveler on the journey.
I just turned 33 and spent the first 30 or so years of my life thinking something was wrong with me because I felt so different from my peers. I was chided for being nice or considerate of others. I was ashamed that I seemed “very sensitive” and was hurt when anyone mentioned my sensitivity. Thanks to the help of an amazing therapist, I learned about HSPs and that there are others out there like me. I recently discovered this podcast and I cannot get enough. Andy is wonderful in his explanations and I catch myself shaking my head in disbelief because I understand exactly how he felt and how deeply his experiences resonate with my own. I’m learning to embrace who I am and this podcast is doing wonders to help me reach that goal. Please keep up the good work, Andy! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Listening to Andy is very comforting. There have been many moments where I’m thinking “hey same here!” He gets down to business without any nonsense and is non judgmental and relatable for HSPs.
When I listen to Andy Mort's podcasts, I feel relief. He understands the ups and downs of life as an introvert and Highly Sensitive Person. Each episode is profound, compassionate, and wise. I only wish I'd had his insight as a younger person. Thank you, Andy!
I found this podcast from another one I listen to. I love the little songs - they make me laugh and perfectly sum up how I feel. It’s amazing to listen to a podcast that speaks directly to my own thoughts, experiences, and views. Thank you!
This podcast is a must-listen for anyone who struggles with living as an introvert or highly sensitive person in this busy, loud, boastfull world. Andy brings an amazing amount of insight, though, and prescetive to this podcast. Thoughtfull and philsophical without getting too heavy.
Awesome! My speculation is that since HSPs tend to notice detail, have complex thoughts very quickly. and due to the emotional component have more empathy, we tend to put out more complete thoughts. The other way of thinking is more to think and describe in terms of broad generalizations. A lot of people say the food was "good" or you "look nice". I would describe what aspect of the foods deliciousness stood out- the pie crust was really flaky- Or, that color of shirt really brings out the intense blue of your eyes. Problem- I assume people had all my thoughts and details.
Not another psychologist talking about HSP but a talented regular person, working on making life work as an HSP. Lots of great info, and links to others.
I've been listening to and reading Andy's stuff for several months now and find comfort and affirmation as an HSP and am inspired by his encouragement to be authentic and true to who we are, whether HSP, introvert, creative misfit, or not. I recommend the podcast to anyone who is looking for something honest and thought-provoking.
I'm a highly sensitive extrovert. This podcast taught me so much about myself and why I respond poorly to constructive advice. This week I'm going to make an effort to divorce advice about my work and performance from my image of my self worth.
I am a highly sensitive person and an introvert. I am also an American...and not just that - a Californian. Life moves incredibly quickly and demands a great deal of my attention and energy. I am grateful for what I have, but it really does take a lot out of me to. The Gentle Rebel serves as a reminder that I'm not alone AND that we, as a group, have value.
I have loved stumbling upon your podcast Andy. You put your heart into this, clearly and just with a few episodes I've picked up so much. I'm an Extrovert HSP so it's been a slow learning as I've shed old identities and embraced my sensitive, creative needs and desires much more. Thank you!!
These beautiful, kind podcasts are so helpful and healing to me, as an introvert with sensory processing sensitivity. It's refreshing to listen to Andy because there is no extravert bashing on this podcast, no "us versus them" philosophy, just openheartedness for all people. What he says resonates with me, and it's wonderful to feel that I'm not alone. I love his tips for sharing our gifts with the world without getting overwhelmed.
Andy is very relatable and genuine. I like how he shares both his ups and downs.
His insights often help me see things from a different and helpful perspective. I enjoy listening and learning from him.
Thanks for your podcast Andy!
Thank you Andy - we need to know that we are connected through this grande peculiar dissonance with "being normal" - ironically a kinda pretentious way of putting it - forgive.
I love this podcast. Insightful, concise, relevant with actionable steps. I walk away feeling understood and with some useful and easily applicable bits of information. Thank you so much for your energy. It's very much appreciated.
I'm a highly-sensitive person and introvert who has already done a lot of reading about both of these aspects of my temperament. But even so, I still find something useful in every episode of Sheep Dressed Like Wolves. Andy's perspective is refreshing and unique. Highly recommended.
Thank you for this great podcast with insights into being highly sensitive. Andy is pleasant to listen to and the sound quality is great. These episodes have helped me learn more about myself and discover things I’ve never thought of before.
Andy is as authentic as they come. He is also an amazing artist who is open with the challenges which come on creative journeys. This is simply one of the best podcasts about art, creativity, and life.
