Customer Reviews
Vacillating
Although I love this podcast, for those of us that are highly sensitive, the vacillating between serious and humor becomes distracting. I understand the need for levity due to complexity and seriousness of the topics. But ,
the frequency of humor and interrupting the host contributes to the very challenges those with a trauma history, and/or eating disorders, and /or highly sensitive systems struggle withIn ourselves and others. We absolutely sometimes have to laugh , so I get it; Your podcast is vital to those who are finally hearing something NEW that resonates with them. I am a trauma therapist and work with people all the time and they soak in the information and education about having a perspective about their beautifully sensitive wiring. The constant humor pulls them out of that space. I love your podcast and I love the guests that you have. I refer my clients to it all the time. This is just a bit of feedback because I am a highly sensitive person first and if I was experiencing some frustration of the vacillation , I wonder if others are as well. Thank you for all you are doing to shed light on these topics and stripping away the shame ! Please keep the humor ; it is more about timing.
Is Alanis the interviewee?
Seriously have never heard an interview in which the interviewer talks so much more (infuriatingly so) than the person she’s interviewing!
Interruptions ruin the show
Alanis interrupts and won’t let guests finish their thoughts. So not fun to listen to. She is very wordy.
