What Is A Sensation-Seeking HSP? Balancing Adventure & Sensitivity

The CalmWithDom Podcast

So you know you're highly sensitive, but you realize your threshold for overstimulating situations and emotions is higher than other HSP that operate just like you...
Think breathtaking concerts, being able to keep calm in a packed space if you go to your happy place, the beauty of fireworks (the noise sucks, but if you're far enough away, you can get lost in the lights).
You know you're an HSP because having these experiences can still overcome you if you enjoy them for too long... so how do you cope?
That's what this episode is breaking down - everything you need to know about how you operate in the world as a high sensation seeking HSP.
In this episode, we talk about how you...

• Thrive taking calculated risks with the promise of greater rewards
• Balance your sensitivity with your love of stimulation
• Respect your sensitive needs in the face of potential overstimulation
• Can nurture relationships that expand you without neglecting your sensitive and sensation seeking side

With love, I hope this helps🌷
