TITLE
How Wounding from Childhood gets Confused with Being an HSP
GUEST
Solo episode—Patricia Young
EPISODE OVERVIEW
Many HSPs have wounding from childhood because their caregiver(s) were not able to attune with them (to understand their needs, and respond in a way that would have nurtured the HS child). This leads to anxiety and depression (shown in Dr. Elaine Aron’s Research www.hsperson.com). Many HSPs grow up hating their sensitivity because it wasn’t embraced or supported when they were young. These HSPs didn’t learn how to honor their gifts, and often they have been told what’s wrong with them, so they bring these wounds into their relationships, where they are told again that they are too sensitive. It’s not the sensitivity that’s the problem! It’s the wounding. Then I go off on a little rant about the benefits of therapy and how to choose an HSP knowledgeable therapist.
