The Happy Highly Sensitive Life Podcast

Working as an HSP: 5 Things I Wish I Knew at the Start of My Career


Listen Later

Are you happy at work?

Work has always felt like an important part of who I am. But, I’ve also felt like a mismatch for the world of work in terms of how it left me depleted. 

Perhaps you’ve felt this way too? 

If you’re an empathetic person, the work that expands your energy may also contract and drain your energy.

Even work environments that say self-care is important for employees, have workplace norms that make it more difficult to get what you need. 

Knowing that, in this episode, I'm sharing 5 things I wish I’d known as an HSP when I first started working. 

And, how accepting that I felt “different” gave me permission to find the freedom to think differently about what I needed from work.

Also, for the first time, I share why I felt so turned upside down by working as a therapist.

I hope that this episode will give you permission to craft your work in a way that works for you. And that the resources I mention will help you care for yourself amid a busy work life.
