HSP wishes therapy and coaching were working

the latest:

We polled our community to learn more about the type of support they’re needing and wanting. It was abundantly clear that feeling understood and like you can be yourself are some of your biggest needs (which made me happy that “understood” was one of the most common words you used to describe us). That got […]

When You’re Walking Through a Sandstorm

It’s been longer than normal since I connected with you. It hasn’t been for lack of care; in fact, I’m considering ways to best support you all the time. I’ve been quiet because I’ve been walking through what feels like a sandstorm, and I’ve been waiting for my sense of clarity to return so that I […]

Honoring Your Sensitivity by Setting Boundaries and Allowing Grief

Have you ever made a choice not to do something because you knew in your gut that it would overwhelm or exhaust you?

Coping with Fall and Winter as a Highly Sensitive Person

This past week, we finally got our first real snowfall in Colorado! It can be so peaceful to take in a snowy scene when sparkling snowflakes are falling. And at the same time, snowfall harkens to the coming weeks of cold, dark, and more time spent inside. Some of us might cherish this time of […]

7 Common Empath Struggles and How to Transform Them

A few years after I heard about Highly Sensitive People, I heard the term “empath”.

8 Ways You Might Be Compensating for Your Sensitivity

Have you noticed that the modern world isn’t built for highly sensitive people? I’m thinking about loud, hectic coffee shops where people go to “focus and get work done,” jobs where “fast-paced multi-tasking” and being “capable of handling multiple priorities at once” are listed in job descriptions, and industries where “ASAP” is the timeline for […]

10 Incredible Gifts of Highly Sensitive People

For many years, I hid my sensitivity because I thought it was shameful and embarrassing. I thought that letting people see my deep thoughts and feelings would invite criticism and rejection. When I started learning that sensitivity was a trait that I shared with a fifth of the population, not a character flaw unique to me, […]

Why Trail Running is Perfect for HSPs

Have you ever felt like as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) you just aren’t cut out for physical exercise? It’s intense, exhausting, and draining, and you can’t seem to “make” yourself do it. Plus, trying to force yourself to fit something else into an already busy day just doesn’t seem possible, or even healthy. As […]

How to Deal With Big Emotions After Being in Survival Mode

Last week on Instagram, one of our posts got more comments and likes than we’ve ever gotten. It struck me how much it resonated with so many people in our community, so I want to continue to bring attention to something that so many are clearly experiencing right now (and not talking about).
