TITLE
HSPs Are Needed Leaders, Healers and Connectors!
GUEST
Solo episode
EPISODE OVERVIEW
For the next few weeks (at least) I’m hosting FREE Zoom calls for members of the closed Facebook Groups Unapologetically Sensitive & Unapologetically Sensitive Therapist’s Group. The world needs us right now, and we the ability to create connections and support, and we also need to ask for help. This episode talks about some of the things HSPs are experiencing globally, and what we can do to create a sense of peace. There are lots of great resources in the closed Facebook groups right now just for you!
HIGHLIGHTS
• Talking with people all over the world (Japan, Germany, UK, Canada, across the U.S.)
• Process deeply
• Don’t know if we’re coming or going
• Trying to absorb all the info
• Overwhelming/overstimulating
• One day you may be doing well, and the next you’re a hot mess
• We’re saying things we don’t mean
• We may have more conflict/tension
• We tend to like structure and knowing what to expect to some degree
• There is SO much uncertainty right now
• We may be experiencing empathy overload
• Even for people we don’t actually know
• Activating the wound of taking things too seriously or making a big deal out of things
• Acknowledge that we may have different points of views
• Acknowledge that there is no right or wrong (even if you think there is), and HONOR each person’s way of processing/dealing
• Honor OUR feelings!
• Adjusting
• Working from home
• Not having work
• Having kids home
• Having partners home
• Potential loss of income
• Reshifting priorities
• Concerns for aging parents, children, anyone who is medically vulnerable (could be yourself)
• Trying to figure out what social distancing will look like
• Having to set limits
• Guilty setting boundaries (even though we can be fierce advocates for others when things are unjust or unfair
• Tearful
• Activate narratives around being bossy, controlling, saying what others don’t, not doing enough
• Seniors
• Not taking precautions
• Saying if this is how they’re gonna go, then that’s fine
• This may be activating to those of us that are taking precautions to keep them safe
• Watch what we consume
• Where we get our news/information
• How much we consume/when we consume
• Cling to those that nourish our souls
• We do better when we’re surrounded by things that work
• Can we honor what’s coming up for us AND know that we are healers and often create a sense of peace and comfort for others (even if we’re fearful or anxious)
• Find ways to connect with other
• Share the good stuff
• Focus on gratitude
• Be of service
• Ask for help
• Use this as a time to slow down—it’s what we often say we need
• Get outdoors
• Move your body
• This is an opportunity to be mindful and consciously find ways to connect (people, creativity, beauty, nature, animals, etc.)
