You have always felt things deeply and hold a lot of empathy for others. You are touched and moved by many things. You notice things that others do not. You may be feeling stressed and burned out from chronic overwhelming feelings. Maybe you have recognized you aren’t like everyone else and have questioned what’s wrong with you.

There is nothing wrong with you. Being highly sensitive is not a disorder. But constantly trying to fit into a world that wasn’t designed for you can take a toll.

Does this sound like you?

• You want to consider every detail and possible outcome before making a decision

• You are more aware of other people’s thoughts and emotions

• You are extremely conscientious and hold yourself to a high standard

• Change can feel extra distressing

• You seem to need more recovery time than others around you

• You’ve been called “too sensitive”

You may be highly sensitive, and this can come with many benefits and also challenges. HSP’s process deeply and often see what others miss. This is a strength but also takes a lot of energy. HSP’s feel with others and this can sometimes come at the cost of your own needs. HSP’s overstimulate easily. Too many demands can leave you feeling overwhelmed.
