The Highly Sensitive Podcast

Finding Your Passion


Listen Later

In today's episode, Lauren talks to Andy Nelson! Andy grew up in a classic HSP scenario-- knowing he was different but not understanding why or how. It involved shame, low (to no) self esteem or self-confidence, and a constant yearning to understand himself. Until he graduated from college, he had no real identity to cling to, until he got into business with his brother. It gave him confidence and an identity, and around the same time, he learned from his therapist what HSP/SPS means. It changed his view of himself for the better and he’s been working hard to spread understanding and awareness of the existence of HSPs everywhere.

We talk about:

  • what helped him embrace who he is

  • how finding his passion helped him gain confidence

  • his experience as a male HSP

  • being a highly sensitive parent, feelings that come up, and how to navigate those feelings
