Description

In episode 59, I started a 3-episode series about the positive aspects of being a Highly Sensitive Person. I talked about people who are celebrated for their sensitivity, like artists and musicians.   In today's show, I'm discussing what I think are 6 not-so-well-known benefits of being highly sensitive. We've all heard that HSPs have lots of empathy and are good listeners and connect with animals and stuff like that, but I tried to find some benefits that were a bit more hidden.   Take a listen to find out what they are!   (The third--upcoming--episode in this series will be about benefits in the professional workplace (jobs, career, etc) for HSPs.)

Are you highly observant and conscientious? Do you experience joy, discomfort, empathy, and emotions very intensely? Are you easily overstimulated or bothered by small changes in your environment? You aren’t alone. You just might be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). In this podcast, host and blogger Kelly shares real-life experiences that may have you nodding and thinking: “I thought I was the only one who felt that way”! Introverts, people with shyness and social anxiety may also find comfort and camaraderie here. Remember--you aren’t crazy or weird…just highly sensitive!
