Today we explore how to build healthy relationships as a highly sensitive person. Join me and fellow coach, Kellyn Legath, as we explore both the challenges and the strengths of building relationships for this population.

Main ideas:
Discovery of Sensitivity: When you're a highly sensitive person, personal emotional regulation is key when it come to creating healthy and balanced relationships. 

Understanding Emotions: HSPs are highly attuned to subtle cues like micro-expressions and tone, which helps in understanding others' emotions but may lead to over-personalization.

Sensitivity as Strength: Embracing sensitivity as a gift enhances relationships; self-awareness helps HSPs manage emotions without self-judgment.

Societal Impact: HSPs often face stigma around their emotions, particularly in a society that misconstrues sensitivity as weakness. Sensitivity isn't a weakness... it's a super power! 

Self-Worth and Validation: HSPs should focus on maintaining self-worth independent of others' responses and seek authenticity over external validation.

Self-Care Practices: Regular self-care routines and exploration of personal interests help HSPs reconnect with themselves and prioritize their needs.

Boundaries and Empowerment: Establishing clear boundaries teaches others how to treat HSPs, promoting healthier relationships and reducing the attraction to negative individuals.

Your emotions are your responsibility. While others’ emotions can impact you, it’s your thoughts and reactions that determine how much they affect you. By setting boundaries, processing emotions in your body, and separating your feelings from those of others, you can create more connection and belonging in your relationships.
