EPISODE OVERVIEW

We talk about the 4 Core Characteristics that encompass being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP); how our culture views sensitivity; how to tease out our superpowers; the correlation between depression, anxiety and being a Highly Sensitive Person. Why being an HSP is genetically a survival strategy and how this trait has been identified in over 100 animal species.  How to deal with overstimulation and overwhelm and ways to cope and manage.  The 5 things HSPs need. All the data in this episode is based on the research by Dr. Elaine Aron who initially researched the trait, then named it.
