Therapy for the Highly Sensitive Person:
Do you consider yourself a deep feeler?
Are you easily overwhelmed by things like bright lights, strong smells, coarse fabrics, or loud noises?
Do you notice subtleties in your environment?
Do you have a rich, complex inner life?
These are just some of the experiences associated with the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) personality trait. While approximately 20% of the population has the HSP personality trait, it’s often misunderstood. Many HSPs grow up to struggle with themes related to: perfectionism, people pleasing, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
Therapy can help you learn to move through the world with:
An understanding of the HSP brain, and a deeper awareness of your unique sensitivities
Increased capacity to be with discomfort in a new way by holding space for curiosity and self-compassion
Skills to reframe old learnings and calm your inner critic
New awareness of unmet needs, and a better understanding of how to set healthy boundaries that protect your energy
