My dear Parents, your little ones are being stretched beyond their limits.

My dear HSPs, can you relate? Are you also being stretched beyond?

I know it doesn’t make you feel any better, but I still have to say...
​
IT’S NORMAL TO FEEL THAT WAY, be you little or big.

Living in this HSP/HSC-unfriendly world takes it’s toll. But that’s why we need to make deposits into our toll account ahead of time.

You know what is right for you. Find what brings you a small moment of joy and do it often. Better yet, join me tomorrow for our HSP Tools and Topics: Co-regulation with Parents and Kids (and also with your inner sensitive ones).

All are welcome 💙

Highly sensitive people can get in the habit of being overstimulated, aka overaroused, more often than not. And guess what? Being overstimulated makes focus really challenging. It can even happen that your work or your work environment is what overstimulates you.

You can change this! You can thrive at work. It will take some effort and might make you wonder if it’s worth it, but IT IS. You got this. Highly Sensitive People are some of the most focused people in the world—and some of the highest achieving. If you aren’t experiencing life like that, please reach out. I’d love to support you.

Now it’s time for clinicians to gather and explore the most current definitions, assessments, and interventions in working with this personality trait which is very common among therapy clients.

Do you or your patients have a keen imagination, rich inner life, and vivid dreams? That might be high sensitivity. Are time alone each day and deeply intimate relationships both as essential as air? Others might call HSPs too shy or overly sensitive. HSPs sometimes wonder if it’s possible to thrive?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be a highly sensitive person, or HSP—20-30% of us are.
