The Happy Highly Sensitive Life Podcast

What it Means to Be a Highly Sensitive Person


Listen Later

There have been times in my life that I’ve felt different, like I didn’t fit in and I wasn’t sure why.  Until I learned about the trait of high sensitivity, I just chalked it up to being an introvert in an extroverted world. 

I didn’t know that my sensitivity was impacting how I was experiencing my life. And so in this episode, I talk about what high sensitivity is, and how it shows up in real life.

I deeply believe that when you’re aware of how sensitivity impacts you, you can give yourself permission to set up your life so it honors you. So you experience greater ease, happiness and satisfaction.

What you will learn in this episode:

  • What is high sensitivity?
  • The 4 qualities all HSPs share
  • The many strengths that come with being highly sensitive
  • Introverted and extroverted HSPs
  • What it means to be a High Sensation Seeking HSP (HSS HSP)
  • Why following your heart is essential as an HSP
  • How to begin to set up your workday & home life to honor this trait
  • How to give yourself permission to arrange your life to work for you

This is essential listening if you’ve recently learned you're an HSP or you're looking to more deeply understand how being an HSP impacts your life.
