Bonus Episode #66 : The Unspoken Strengths of the Highly Sensitive Person—Mainly, the Power of Our Presence

TITLE

The Unspoken Strengths of the Highly Sensitive Person—Mainly, the Power of Our Presence

GUEST

Solo Episode

EPISODE OVERVIEW

HSPs have a powerful ability to show up and be present for others. We often feel less than because we compare the accomplishments of others without realizing that we hold space, listen and notice things in a powerful way. Our society is very oriented to doing. For the Highly Sensitive Person, we excel at being, which is not always appreciated, recognized or valued. In this episode, we also look at a number of the perceived weaknesses of HSPs and talk about the corresponding strengths/superpowers we have.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Episode 59 with Azul Terronez called Influence Comes from Service really highlights many of the unspoken strengths of the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)
• Our culture tends to measure success in terms of doing and achievements vs. the power of presence and being
• As HSPs, we have an amazing ability to hold space, listen, recognize and observe things that most people don’t
• We are often the emotional glue that holds our families and relationships together
• It’s often easy for use to measure the non-HSPs parts of our relationships to others, and to forget how powerful our presence is to others
• Often systems are set up in ways that can make us feel that there is something wrong with us, but it’s the system or person that isn’t functional/responsive or able to meet our need(s)
• Many of us have the wound of too much and not enough
• When we start comparing, we WILL feel inadequate
• How can we honor what comes up for us, and be able to address the subtext (when appropriate)? THIS is our greatest strength

POSITIVE MESSAGES—OUR SUPERPOWERS

• I value self-care, and am in need of rest and recharging
• I process more information on a deeper level
• I’m good at trying new things and I enjoy the moment
• I trust my process and I take the time I need
• I’m not afraid to feel
• I’m in touch with my emotions
• I feel things deeply; it’s healthy and I’m strong, and it allow me to be myself
• I see things that others don’t
• What I do is valuable
• What I bring is valuable
• I am valuable
• I am so beautifully in touch with myself, which is a gift to myself, and others. Everyone is doing their best
• I teach others by example how to feel deeply and how to experience a wide range of human emotions
