Episode 2063:

Sharon Martin delves into the world of Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), elucidating the traits that typify this unique wiring. From experiencing emotions intensely and possessing a deep well of empathy, to feeling overwhelmed by criticism and external stimuli, HSPs navigate the world differently. Martin underscores the importance of recognizing the value in sensitivity, setting boundaries, and embracing self-care practices to lead a balanced life. Highlighting that being highly sensitive is not a flaw but a distinctive strength, this article offers solace and strategies for those who resonate with the characteristics of an HSP.
