Are you tired of feeling like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde when it comes to your boundaries?
Why is it that your boundaries vanish the moment someone is kind—or worse, when conflict looms? If you're a highly sensitive person who’s stuck in the exhausting cycle of over-giving and losing yourself in relationships, this episode holds the missing key.

You’re not broken—your boundaries are just confused.
In this episode of Stress Management for Highly Sensitive People, Todd Smith dives deep into the hidden “Jekyll and Hyde” boundary pattern that quietly sabotages HSPs in love, work, and life. If you constantly feel overwhelmed, lose your voice in relationships, or fear that saying "no" makes you unlovable, this conversation will strike a chord—and show you a new path.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

  • The real reason your boundaries collapse when others are “nice”

  • How inconsistent boundaries erode self-respect and confuse relationships

  • A powerful reframe to help you build boundaries rooted in clarity—not conflict

Tap play to discover how clear, consistent boundaries are the key to the deep connection and inner peace you crave as a highly sensitive person.
