Have you been told again and again that you are too sensitive, too emotional, too intense, leaving you feeling like there is something wrong with you? Do you feel overwhelmed by loud noises, crowds of people, bright lights and other stimuli? Maybe you long for the quiet of a darkened room during busy times, seeking relief from the intensity. You may have difficulty with managing your keen awareness of the moods and feelings of others. Or maybe perfectionism leaves you demanding even more of yourself than you ask of others. If you relate to any of this, you likely have a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) personality type.

As challenging as it may feel to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), the good news is that you can come to understand the trait and appreciate it as a gift. HSP therapy can help you learn to take care of yourself so that your uniqueness can shine through. I know that care and protection can be really difficult when you haven’t learned how to do that!

I have been privileged to work with many HSPs over the years. Initially, they often take a deep breath, recognizing that they are finally being seen and valued. Then, as they begin to embrace their highly sensitive trait, they become able to express themselves confidently, build supportive relationships, and do whatever they choose. This can be you, too!
