Today with Jenn Turnham who has a background in applied psychology and is a registered BWRT practitioner and coach for HSP-Es (Highly Sensitive Extrovert Person) we demystify the misconceptions society has on HSPs and why those give us a bad name.

Today in Part 1, we cover

What’s a Highly Sensitive Person based on the D.O.E.S Aron’s scale.

Discover with me live on the call why HSPs are a minority and why they’re so misunderstood.

Is Being Hangry a HSP thing?

How mirror neurons fit into this.

Difference between Empaths and HSPs, you can be both but not all HSPs are empaths, they’re empathetic.

Having some of the traits versus all of the HSP traits.

The difference between HSP & Sensory Processing Disorder = personality trait vs disorder.

Is HSP a fine line to bipolar?

High Sensitivity is not Hyper sensitivity and we explain why HSPs are not (necessarily) hyper sensitive nor histrionics.

HSPe being walking contradictions - being too much for people.

Next week, we’ll dive into the difference between introvert and extrovert and whether ambiverts at all exist and how that fits in with HSP and discover why HSP-E think they’re introverts when in reality they’re not & how to manage our quirks as HSPs.
