Mother healing doesn’t happen in one conversation or one hug. It’s a slow reweaving of trust and tenderness. It’s a choice... to honour what we got, to honour what was missing and to keep choosing love anyway. Now, as a mother myself, I know that the most powerful healing doesn’t come from being perfect, how boring. It comes from showing up, loving hard and learning to forgive ourselves along the way.
As with anything in life, the HSP may encounter challenges along the way that include overwhelm in busy or noisy environments, sensory overload (lights, sounds, textures, crowds), emotional exhaustion from feeling so much, difficulty with boundaries and saying no and feeling misunderstood or dismissed as “too sensitive”. So how do you care for yourself, or guide an HSP to take care of their sensitive heart and selves?
