Too Old For This Sh*t

In today’s part 2 with Jenn Turnham, we dive into the world of Highly Sensitive Extroverts (HSP-Es) by learning the difference between introverts and extroverts and how that looks different for Highly Sensitive People.



We cover:

• The difference between an Introvert, Extrovert and Ambivert (how differently our brain works).

• How does that fit in with the HSP model aka HSPe - HSPi - HSPa?

• The contradictions for HSP-Es that make them think they’re introverts.

• How HSP-Es can seem like walking contradictions.

• Cohabiting for HSP-E.

• Introverts aren’t necessarily shy and extroverts aren’t necessarily loud.

• How do we manage our HSP-E traits & pitfalls?

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.
