A collection of thoughts based on personal experience and perspective

HSP's, empaths, and narcissists all have one thing in common: a sensitivity to the world. They often begin as children who feel deeply, notice the unspoken and who long for connection, safety and love. What happens to that raw sensitivity, though, over time can shape three very different outcomes.

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?
