Are You a Highly-Sensitive Person?

Some Difficulties HSPs Often Experience...

  • Feeling disconnected from one's body after being told to "not be so sensitive..."

  • Feeling like they are living a life that's made for someone else...

  • Feeling overwhelmed by the push and hustle culture...

  • Wishing for a world that is quieter, slower & more thoughtful...

  • Feeling often misunderstood or that others can't relate to your experience...

  • Easily absorbing the emotions of people around them...

  • Some or all of their senses are heightened, such as sensitivity to lighting or sounds...

  • They have a rich internal life & perhaps enjoy deep thinking as an activity...

  • They find it difficult to relax in many environments, due to lighting, sound or smells...

  • When they encounter something that disturbs them, it stays with them for a long time...

  • Things that seem obvious or predictable, don't seem to occur to others...

  • People-pleasing leads to energy depletion & disconnection from Self…

I’m willing to bet you’ve been working on your own for pretty-much ALL you LIFE to figure out how to heal. I’m also willing to bet you’ve made some distinct progress & have profound insight into your situation, your trauma & who you are.

You’ve likely done a decent job impacting those around you & helping them with their healing in some way.

Now it’s time to have support & the emotional attunement you long for as well as the opportunity to shine your particular light as brightly as you always sensed was possible.

The Gifts of Being an HSP

  • body awareness

    This is an area that often needs attention for HSPs in therapy. Their high level of body awareness (interoception) may become reorganized in childhood & into young adulthood. Working to stop the over-riding of the body's wisdom is life changing.

  • creativity

    HSPs often enjoy creative pursuits for work or leisure, but can also move away from it due to outside opinions & pressures. HSPs also tend to love observing & participating in other's creative expressions & performances.

    super sensory experience

    Sometimes being easily over-stimulated by lighting, smells, textures, etc. can seem too much to live with, however this trait creates an individual who can enjoy food, art, the smell of flowers, etc. to an incredible degree. HSPs often explain that sensory experiences can bring them to tears of joy.

  • empathy

    Being highly empathic can create amazing levels of connection to other people & other beings. Boundaries can support the HSP to benefit more from this trait.

    It can be useful to find a focus for the empathy. HSPs tend to long for purpose & meaning.

  • intuition & observation

    Sometimes the keen observing eye of an HSP can lead to them over-thinking or determining something that isn't true. Because HSPs are so very observant & intuitive, they can sometimes know something that someone else is not yet conscious of. It can be a game-changer for them to learn how to bring their felt sense or knowledge forward to others (& who is worth their time & energy!).

  • depth of processing

    To be able to "process" deeply on a mental, emotional or somatic level can be an incredible asset in one's life & also help to determine a professional life path. HSPs tend to do well in therapy with a good fit therapist, because they enjoy the process of observing themselves & having themselves reflected back accurately.
