Licensed psychotherapists Vanessa Durrant and Anna See-Jachowski lend their expertise to a topic that has been requested often by listeners: understanding the Highly Sensitive Person, or, HSP. They’re breaking down what it means to be on the sensitivity spectrum, and how we come to understand it as a basic, fixed human trait. This episode discusses the magic and challenges of being, parenting, and/or supporting a an HSP or a highly sensitive child (HSC).
Vanessa and Anna speak to what the research is saying about the importance of navigating adversity and supporting the positive life experiences of folks who are HSP/HSC. They then get to dig deep about how to cultivate the superpowers of HSPs, big and small, and the magic of these world-altering change-makers!
