In this episode 23, I provide some tips on how to deal with the challenging aspects of being highly sensitive. Do you ever say these things to yourself?

• "I give a lot to other people but they don’t notice--they don't appreciate or reciprocate my thoughtfulness."
• "I can’t trust many people because they will inevitably hurt me or let me down."
• "How can I be less sensitive?"
• "My empathy weighs heavily on me--It’s so tiring. How can I better handle this?"

Have a listen and let me know what you think of my tips in the comments below. If you like the podcast, please leave a positive review on iTunes! Sign up for the weekly newsletter to be notified of the latest blog posts, podcast episodes, and HSP news.
