Big Emotions, Heavy Truths: Jen Butler on Trauma, Sensitivity, and Survival (Part 1)

Big Emotions, Heavy Truths: Jen Butler on Trauma, Sensitivity, and Survival (Part 1)

What happens when you're the helper but you're the one breaking?
In this raw and unfiltered episode of The Suicide Prevention Lady Podcast, Dr. Rikki Turner sits down with writer, comedian, author, and fellow highly sensitive person Jen Butler to talk about what it really feels like to be a deeply sensitive person in an overwhelming world.

Jen shares her personal story of trauma, her internal battles with suicidal thoughts, and the invisible toll of constantly holding it together for everyone else. It’s a vulnerable conversation that pulls back the curtain on what’s often left unsaid even by mental health professionals.

Topics in Part 1 include:

  • Growing up in survival mode

  • Suicidality masked by achievement

  • The danger of compartmentalizing big feelings

  • Why sensitivity is not a weakness

This is Part 1 of a two-part series. If you’ve ever felt like you were “too much,” or like the strong one who’s silently drowning, this episode is for you.

👀 Come back next week for Part 2, where we dig into healing, hope, and how Jen’s book came to life.
