Quote: Highly sensitive people learned early in life to try to control the external world as a way to attempt to manage their inner one. -Sheryl Paul Chapters 0:26 Introduction to Sensitivity 2:22 Quotes on Sensitivity 6:12 The Nature of Highly Sensitive People 8:53 Identifying as Highly Sensitive 10:15 Emotional Exhaustion and Sensitivity 11:53 Traits of Highly Sensitive People 16:13 Navigating Change and Sensitivity 16:58 Closing Thoughts and Next Steps Summary In this episode, I delve into the experience of being a highly sensitive person (HSP) and how it can often be mistaken for anxiety. I discuss the unique traits of HSPs, who make up about 20% of the population and possess an ability to process stimulation deeply and feel emotions intensely. While being highly sensitive can provide exquisite advantages such as heightened empathy and an acute awareness of details that others might overlook, it also comes with challenges that can lead to feeling overwhelmed in everyday life. I explore the breadth of feelings and responses that accompany high sensitivity, emphasizing the dual nature of these traits. For instance, while heightened empathy can be considered a gift, it also means that HSPs might find themselves emotionally exhausted from absorbing the feelings of those around them. I share insights from notable experts on the topic, including Elaine Aron and Jen Graneman, to reinforce that sensitivity is not a weakness but a distinctive trait that warrants respect and understanding. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to reflect on how their sensitivities manifest and how they might identify as an HSP. #HighlySensitivePerson #HSP #Anxiety #EmotionalSensitivity #Overstimulation #Empathy #SelfCareForHSPs #ElaineAron #JenGraneman #InnerPeace #HighlySensitive #HSPCommunity #Empath #Introvert #Extrovert #EmotionalWellbeing #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfLove #Mindfulness #StressRelief #CopingStrategies #PersonalGrowthJourney #InnerStrength #Vulnerability #Authenticity #GentleParenting #SensitiveSoul #TheAnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #ListenNow Learn more about your ad choices.

If you've ever felt the world pulling you down into the dark—this one's for you. In Episode 154 of With Love, Danielle, we're talking discernment: why I have a “Good for Me/Bad for Me” list to help me stay grounded, expansive, and connected to my Higher Truth—and why you should too.  Think of it as the spiritual version of an emergency room intake form—a check-in with your soul to help you fill up with Light in these dark times.  ✨ Here's what we cover in this episode: Why discernment is a form of devotion—and a radical act of self-love. What's on my “Good for Me” list (and what I did this week that I knew was “Bad for Me”) Why sensitivity isn't a weakness—it's a superpower when embraced with intention. This is about listening deeply to what nourishes you, so you can show up more fully for the world. We'll close with the Shantideva Prayer: May we be a source of healing, comfort, protection and refuge for others. Because when you dedicate yourself to supporting others, life magnetizes all the wellness, Compassion, and resources you need. With Love, Danielle Mentioned in this episode:

Selon la psychologue américaine Elaine Aron, pionnière des recherches sur l'hypersensibilité, 30% de la population serait concernée par le sujet. Or, si elle n'est pas identifiée et bien assumée, l'hypersensibilité peut être vécue comme une souffrance. En fait, l'hypersensibilité est un trait de personnalité qui se caractérise par une sensibilité accrue aux émotions, aux stimuli sensoriels et à l'environnement. Lorsqu'on est hypersensible on a tendance à ressentir les choses de manière plus intense et profonde que les autres. Attention, il ne s'agit pas d'une maladie mais bien d'une manière d'aborder le monde.  Mais de quoi s'agit-il exactement ? Comment savoir si je suis hypersensible ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant Vous Savez - Santé".

Are you feeling burned out by the dating process or struggling to show up in your relationships? In this episode, I talk with Rebecca Marcus, LCSW about going at your own pace and: • Caring for yourself when starting new relationships just as you would in every other part of your life  • Not comparing yourself to others when dating and choosing the right pace for you • Slowing down to process and reflect throughout the dating process to understand how you feel about the other person  • The importance of honoring and speaking your needs with the other people in your life, even if they're also highly sensitive  Rebecca is a social worker in NYC who helps Millennial women chill out, get confident, and trust themselves and their dating process, so they can find and keep the love they want. Growing up on Disney movies, rom coms, and fairy tales about Prince Charming that showed unrealistic expectations of relationships, dating, and love only led to chaos and confusion when she started dating. So for a decade, she's helped millennial women navigate the confusing NYC dating scene, break toxic patterns, and create relationships and a life filled with meaning and joy.

In this long-awaited Academy of Imperfection, we chat to psychologist Janelle Booker, who specialises in ADHD and Highly Sensitive Person trait. There is SO MUCH to learn (and love) about an ADHD brain. We learn how ADHDers are often extremely creative, innovative, and talented, and in the right conditions, absolutely thrive. However, ADHDers may struggle with executive functions such as time keeping, organisation and emotional regulation, which can make daily life really hard and exhausting. People with ADHD can be more susceptible to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, as well as dopamine boosting activities such as risk-taking behaviour, addiction and disordered eating. This is why seeking the right diagnosis and treatment plan can be really impactful.  With school as a battleground, and friendships sometimes hard to maintain, Hugh, Ryan and Josh chat through how neurotypical people can be better allies and support systems to ADHDers, as friends, partners, employers, and parents. On a HSP note (not the snack pack, unfortunately), we bet a few of you might resonate with Janelle's explanation, especially since 15-20% of the population have the Highly Sensitive Person trait. Janelle, it was an absolute pleasure, and we can't believe we didn't do this sooner. Janelle is based in Western Australia, and her practice Janelle Booker Psychology, will be accepting new clients in February 2025.

Are you leaning into the positive experiences of being highly sensitive? In this episode, I talk with Tom Falkenstein about the beauty of connecting deeply as an HSP and:  • The correlation between sensitivity and mental health • Unique struggles and opportunities of being a highly sensitive man  • Understanding that sensitivity is not a burden or a deficit, but a neutral trait that you're born with • How highly sensitive people benefit more from therapy and other positive supports due to differential susceptibility  Tom is a psychologist (M.A.), cognitive behavioural psychotherapist, and author of the book "The Highly Sensitive Man" (Kensington Books, 2019), which has been translated into several languages. He has been working as a psychotherapist since 2006, both in Germany and the UK, and developed an interest in sensitivity during his psychotherapeutic work in London in the early 2010s. He was trained and supervised by Dr Elaine Aron for several years. His work has been featured in numerous podcasts, on television and in international publications, including The Telegraph, Psychology Today and Men's Health. He has also appeared in the documentary "Sensitive Men Rising" (2024) by Will Harper. Singer-songwriter-activist Alanis Morissette described Tom's book "The Highly Sensitive Man" as "a breath of fresh air in the midst of a cultural determination to reduce toxic masculinity. This book is a balm, a movement, and a revelation." Tom runs a private practice in London and is completing a PhD on sensitivity and mental health at Queen Mary University of London with Prof Michael Pluess.

Did you learn to repress your emotions as a kid or are you figuring out how to support the big emotions of your HSP kiddo? In this episode, I talk with Sarita Fichtner about the importance of expressing your emotions from an early age and:  • Long-term effects of being labeled “too sensitive” or “lazy” as a young HSP • The profound impact of discovering your sensitivity on your mental health • What's possible when you set boundaries and support your sensitivity • Dancing between bliss and survival mode as an HSP parent Sarita is the children's book author of "Pop Out Loud".  She struggled deeply with poor mental health from a young age, until her late twenties when she discovered the term "highly sensitive person".  Sarita was then able to shift her circumstances from feeling defeated to feeling empowered, and build a life that thrives on a highly sensitive nervous system.  "Pop Out Loud, First Day of School" is her debut book of the series which embraces emotions and honors sensitivity.

"Maintenant Vous Savez" c'est également deux autres podcasts qui décryptent la culture avec "Maintenant Vous Savez - Culture" et la santé avec "Maintenant Vous Savez - Santé". Quatre fois par semaine, nous vous proposons de découvrir les meilleurs épisodes. Selon la psychologue américaine Elaine Aron, pionnière des recherches sur l'hypersensibilité, 30% de la population serait concernée par le sujet. Or, si elle n'est pas identifiée et bien assumée, l'hypersensibilité peut être vécue comme une souffrance.  En fait, l'hypersensibilité est un trait de personnalité qui se caractérise par une sensibilité accrue aux émotions, aux stimuli sensoriels et à l'environnement. Lorsqu'on est hypersensible on a tendance à ressentir les choses de manière plus intense et profonde que les autres. Attention, il ne s'agit pas d'une maladie mais bien d'une manière d'aborder le monde.  Mais de quoi s'agit-il exactement ?

In this episode, we cover five activities HSP's can use to befriend their sensitivity (all inspired by Elaine Aron's Highly Sensitive Person Workbook).  Identify negative labels you have either told yourself or heard others say to you. Create a rebuttal to each one. Leverage your sensitivity as a strength by leaning into a sensory exercise. Identify ways in which you are a "priestly advisor" and the ways in which that serves as an asset in your work and/or in your relationships. Challenge your internal critic by getting curious about it.  Lean into growth mindset and the power of "yet"  Follow me on Instagram @thehealthysensitive (https://www.instagram.com/thehealthysensitive/)  Join our Meetup Group: https://www.meetup.com/The-Healthy-Sensitives/  Join our Online Community: https://the-healthy-sensitive.mn.co/

I've been feeling really sensitive lately and got curious about this quality. I went down a rabbit hole of research, and it turns out that there is such a thing as highly sensitive people, or HSPs. In this episode, I talk about examples of sensitivity, explore a framework from psychologist Elaine Aron, and share ways I manage sensitivity. And yes, there is a test you can take to gauge whether you are a highly sensitive person and I share my results in the episode. Whether you've recently experienced a significant life event(s) that warrants sensitivity, or you're just a human trying to life in an increasingly hostile world - the state of political, social, environmental affairs and overstimulation from an exponentially fast-paced lifestyle due to technological advancement is causing overall stress and fatigue for everyone - I hope this episode serves as some form of validation, information, and comfort.  If you're curious about whether you're a highly sensitive person, you can take the test here: highly sensitive person test I'll be traveling to Bali for the first time this September - a little Birthday gift to myself :) If you'd like to join, more details and sign up here: Bali 2024 Trip Page.

If so, this episode of the EnvisionAir podcast is for you, as we are speaking with Karen Hall, Managing Director of the Los Angeles Tribune Women's Journal, Holistic Life Coach and Podcast Host of the Hero Within podcast, who identifies as a highly sensitive person (“HSP”),  a concept psychologist Elaine Aron coined in the 1970s to describe this personality trait. According to Psychology Today, 15-20% of the population is an HSP, and understanding this personality trait can help HSPs feel less alone and improve the way HSPs navigate life in a more meaningful way. In this episode, Karen shares her personal experiences navigating life as an HSP. She shares the challenges she has faced as an HSP and how she has been able to overcome these challenges by harnessing the positive elements of being an HSP, understanding her triggers and how to methodically regulate her emotional responses in a constructive manner (relying on kindness, compassion and empathy for herself and others).

Have you ever wondered why someone is so sensitive? Or perhaps you've wondered if you're being sensitive or even overly sensitive. What if there was data that supported that there may be reasons behind feeling things more, both physically and emotionally, than the average person. Maybe you can sense someone else's feelings, or are deeply moved by music or the beauty of nature. Sensitive to crowds, loud sounds, itchy fabrics? These are just a few things that could be indicators of being an HSP. In the 1990s Dr. Elaine Aron pioneered research on the topic of what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP.) Dr. Elizabeth Scott provides her expertise on this topic and dives deep on what it means to be an HSP, how to cope with it, and sheds light on how being an HSP may be linked to being a child of a narcissist!

I've always felt uneasy about the use of "superpower" to describe high sensitivity. Sensitivity is Not a Superpower, So What is It? It feels like a gently rebellious thing to say…I've always felt a bit uneasy about using “superpower” to describe high sensitivity. There have been some interesting (and challenging) studies in the past couple of years looking at portrayals of sensitivity in Western culture. It's an entirely normal and natural trait found in around 20%-30% of humans and over 100 species. They're worth taking seriously, especially if sensory processing sensitivity is to be more widely understood, appreciated, and integrated. It strikes me that rather than turning it into something exceptional, we are better off conveying how utterly normal it is, and how sensitivity itself is a core part of how we survive and thrive as human beings. Last year, Scott Barry Kaufman wrote an article for Psychology Today responding to a study examining links between high sensitivity and vulnerable narcissism. Subsequent research has highlighted the misappropriation of the sensitive trait "as a superpower" to wield in certain contexts. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, Scott and I talk about the problem with superpower language around personality and temperament. Sensitivity Signalling I got in touch with Scott after his most recent article for Psychology Today about high-sensitivity signalling. It was great to speak with him. According to the research, "there was a zero correlation between sensory processing sensitivity and signalling high sensitivity." In other words, there was no link between being highly sensitive and constantly signalling your high sensitivity. They measured sensitivity signalling around someone's tendency towards factors like: Asking for privileges because of sensitivity Receiving special treatment because of sensitivity Getting help because of sensitivity Avoiding penalties because of sensitivity Blaming mistakes on sensitivity Telling people how hard life is because of sensitivity I struggled to think of any genuine, highly sensitive people I know for whom anything on the list is true. But it does strike me that they could be described as a sort of "superpower". If by sensitivity as a superpower, we mean the ability to turn the floor to turn to eggshells and bending others to your will. This is a different type of “hyper” sensitivity. Not one I recognise when it comes to the trait described by Elaine Aron. Scott writes, "A beautiful and complex trait has become co-opted by some people as a victim-signalling strategy-- "a public and intentional expression of one's disadvantages, suffering, oppression, or personal limitations." Indeed, recent research suggests that victim signalling is becoming increasingly prevalent in our society and can be viewed as an expression of a "culture of victimhood" in which claiming to be a victim isn't in the service of receiving help and assistance for a genuine disadvantage but instead becomes something actually desirable and fashionable in itself." In our conversation, we also considered what self-actualisation means and how highly sensitive people can explore our rich and varied potentials.

Episode 1991: Carolyn Riker's insightful article delves into the challenges highly sensitive people (HSPs) face during the holiday season. Highlighting the overstimulation and heightened expectations, Riker, with references to Dr. Elaine Aron's work, emphasizes the need for HSPs to adopt a lifestyle and strategies that honor their sensitivities. The piece offers practical advice for managing emotional overwhelm during festive times, advocating for self-care and boundaries. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://highlysensitiverefuge.com/for-highly-sensitive-people-the-holidays-can-be-too-much/ Quotes to ponder: "We need an entire lifestyle that suits our trait and a strong sense of being justified about doing what we need to do." "What you really need is more time to be with the knitted shawl of quiet and honor your sensitivities." "You need ample permission to turn off some of your sensitivity to the needs of others. This is not selfish [...] it could make your partner a far happier person." Episode references: The Highly Sensitive Person by Dr. Elaine N. Aron: Link to Book Learn more about your ad choices.

High sensitivity shapes the emotional experiences, perceptions, and interactions of approximately 20% of the population, spanning across diverse cultures globally.From intimacy to communication, the deeply felt emotions and heightened responses to sensory inputs influence how highly sensitive individuals engage with their partners. This trait often leads to a preference for deep, meaningful connections, while also making them susceptible to feeling overwhelmed.This episode is truly insightful as I am joined by Elizabeth "Biz" Cush – a women's life coach, licensed counselor, and the brilliant mind behind the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast. Her holistic approach integrates body, mind, and spirit, fostering a beautiful, enjoyable life for her clients. And in this episode, we delve into the impact of high sensitivity on relationships and sex life.Highly sensitive people and their unique traits.Highly sensitive people (HSP's) refer to a genetically predisposed trait, with about 20% of the global population being classified as highly sensitive people.Highly sensitive people process sensory input—whether noise, smell, taste, touch, or emotions—differently. This distinct sensory processing results in a deeply emotional experience, a preference for profound connections, and a deeper and more deliberate processing of information before forming opinions or feelings about it.Interestingly, being highly sensitive doesn't strictly align with introversion; one can be an extrovert and still be highly sensitive, needing both social interaction and recharge time.With respect to relationships, being in a relationship where one partner is highly sensitive and the other isn't can sometimes lead to conflict, especially in scenarios where the highly sensitive individual feels overwhelmed or anxious in crowded or noisy settings that the non-sensitive person enjoys.Are you a highly sensitive person?To identify if someone is an HSP, tests and quizzes are available, such as the one on Dr. Elaine Aron's website. Dr. Aron has conducted extensive research on this. Take the self-test here: https://hsperson.com/test/Being an HSP impacts sexual relationships.Navigating sexual relationships as a highly sensitive person, particularly for highly sensitive women, poses unique challenges. The HSP personality trait, an aspect of the nervous system, renders individuals acutely aware of various sensory inputs, often impacting their experiences in intimate relationships.For highly sensitive women, the intricacies of their sensory processing sensitivity can deeply influence their sexual relations. Although HSPs can enjoy sex, this acute awareness can lead to a heightened vulnerability to negative emotions and feeling overwhelmed, particularly in scenarios where their partner's desires may conflict with their own comfort levels.Non-HSPs need to understand the unique needs of their HSP partners.Balancing the needs and desires of the self and the romantic partner is a delicate yet crucial aspect of enjoyable sex for those with a highly sensitive nature.Highly sensitive individuals can sometimes feel overwhelmed. They experience heightened sensitivity to smells, making cleanliness particularly important for their partners. According to Biz, even the texture of fabrics could affect physical closeness.Communication regarding what types...

Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is a fairly new identifier to describe anyone who is highly responsive to their environment. This high responsiveness can appear in a variety of ways and different arenas of our lives - physically, emotionally, in relationships, simply going about our days and interacting with the world around us. In 1996, American clinical research psychologist Dr. Elaine Aron wrote her seminal book The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive in a World That Overwhelms You, and it was in this book that term HSP was coined. Author Jenn Granneman joins me to talk about her new book on this topic of HSP, a book that includes new research that furthers supports Dr. Aron's findings, as well as exploring history revealing that this gift has always been with us, we just didn't identify it until recently, and welcoming in specific insights and tools to elevate this awesome gift that can indeed deep the quality of our entire life. Jenn Granneman's book, who she co-authored with Andre Sólo, Sensitive: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World was released on February 28, 2023, and quickly became a bestseller in the category of Popular Psychology Studies and was recently chosen by Amazon's editor's as the Editor's Pick for Non-Fiction. Today she joins me to talk about what HSP is, the misconceptions, how being HSP is actually a source of strength, how to approach relationships and the work place as well as talking about why she hopes this book starts a Sensitive Revolution. ~Explore the book: Sensitive: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World by Jenn Granneman and Andre Sólo~ Explore Jenn Granneman's websites on HSP and Introversion below, as well as other links you might be interested in: Sensitive Refuge, blog centered on the topic of thriving as an HSP Recent post: 27 Things You Do Because You're a Highly Sensitive Person Jenn Granneman on IG: @jenngranneman Introvert, Dear, blog centered on the topic of thriving as an Intovert The Secret Lives of Introverts: Inside Our Hidden World, book episode #171: The Secret Lives of Introverts, my conversation with the author Jenn Granneman: The Simple Sophisticate podcast Podcast Episodes you might be interested in: episode #44: The Many Gifts of Being HSP episode #315: Being in Love, Being HSP and Being at Peace with Ourselves and the One We Love https://www.instagram.com/p/CsHX9A-ue3i/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== ~Explore more episodes of The Simple Sophisticate podcast
