After a break, the podcast is back with series 6 and I am so pleased to be joined by co-host Robbie Leigh for what we're calling the HSP Connection series. We are both really excited to bring you these conversations about all things high sensitivity and HSP. We will talk about our experiences of being HSPs, how we found out, what it means, what it means for us, how we bring it into our work as high sensory coaches, what it means in our everyday lives, what it means to the people around us and how amazing it is to be a HSP.
You might be a HSP or know someone who is and Robbie and I want to have a bit of fun and spread the word about being an HSP, what it means and how HSPs can really thrive when they look after themselves. There's something in this series for everyone not just HSPs. HSPs are not better than non-HSPs and we're also not worse. We're just a bit different and what's good for HSPs is good for everyone.
For those of you who don't know, HSP stands for Highly Sensitive Person and is a term coined by Dr Elaine Aron in the1990s following her study of people with sensory processing sensitivity. It's an innate trait and whilst it can heighten a person's experience of trauma, it is not, as some think, caused by trauma.
In this episode we talk through what Dr Aron listed as the main tenets of being a HSP:
- depth of processing
- ease of overstimulation
- emotional responsiveness
- acute awareness of stimulations
- empathy
