Living Deeply with Coach MJ

Why Relationships Overwhelm Highly Sensitive People


Listen Later

Coach MJ explains why even healthy relationships can feel like constant overstimulation for highly sensitive people and reassures listeners that sensitivity is wiring, not weakness.

The episode breaks down how HSPs absorb micro-expressions, tones, and environmental cues, why those effects linger in the body, and how chronic input drains nervous systems.

Practical strategies are offered: intentional alone time, clear communication about sensitivity, boundaries to reduce stimulation, and somatic regulation techniques like breathing and grounding.

By designing relationships that honor sensitive wiring, connection can shift from overload to nourishment.
