					<description><![CDATA[Understanding yourself as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) can bring meaning, depth, and strength to your identity and sense of self. Some do not recognize or come across the data about the HSP trait until later in life. Others may have learned about their sensitivity trait while growing up or working with a counselor. Whenever you began learning about the HSP trait, it is likely that you came across HSP books that explained or unpacked what sensitivity is and how you can better understand yourself through the research around the Highly Sensitive Person. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), chances are you have realized that you need more self-care than the average person. You may struggle with loud environments, bright lights, and crowded restaurants, and prefer quiet, calm, low-stress situations and relationships. You need more downtime. You require more rest and quiet than others. You might be introverted AND an HSP meaning that you need to monitor how much time you are with people and how to recoup alone to regain your energy. The more you understand yourself as a Highly Sensitive Person, the more you'll find the need for self-care practices and tools. In this article, we share 8 self-care tools for the Highly Sensitive Person to better equip you for your self-care needs. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[With the year coming to an end, thinking about goals related to mental health comes to mind. Why? Because as a highly sensitive person, some of my biggest challenges are issues I face around my mental health. I aspire to be more balanced, to have more patience, and to navigate my days with grace, peace, and joy. But let's be real, sometimes I'm cranky, irritable, and stuck in my negative thought patterns. So, for the coming year, I decided to set five simple mental health goals for myself.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Finding a therapist who understands the Highly Sensitive Person trait is possibly one of the best ways to impact your therapy goals. Once you've started learning about the Highly Sensitive Person trait as researched and documented by Dr. Elaine N. Aron in her book, The Highly Sensitive Person, it might become important to you to find a therapist or life coach who is an HSP or understands the Highly Sensitive Person trait. Many therapists, coaches, and people in the healing and helping professions are highly sensitive, which is very helpful for HSPs who are seeking support. We who are sensitive can support others who are sensitive because we understand the ups and downs that go with the territory. Overall, finding a therapist who understands the Highly Sensitive Person trait can be vital to reaching your goals for therapy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Highly Sensitive People, or HSPs, comprise 15-20% of the population, according to the researcher, Dr. Elaine N. Aron. As highly sensitives, we often wrestle with overprocessing, overthinking, and overstimulation because of the additional mirror neurons in our brains that cause us to notice more stimuli, feel things more deeply, and react differently to the world around us. There are many great qualities of the HSP and perhaps my favorite is our ability to process the world around us deeply. For this reason, keeping a journal or using a workbook created specifically for Highly Sensitive People can be extremely helpful. Workbooks for the Highly Sensitive Person can help shed light on the trait in positive ways and help find health self-acceptance and joy]]></description>

In Randy Grasser and Annet Van Duinen's first book together, The Wild Sensitive: Unlocking the Power of the Highly Sensitive Sensation Seekers. they educate around the highly sensitive person (HSP) trait when it overlaps with the high sensation seeker (HSS) trait, producing what could only be known as the highly sensitive sensation seeker--a modern marvel we are only just beginning to understand.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When I started researching sensitivity, I wasn't sure what the differences were between the term "empath" and the term "highly sensitive person (HSP)." It seemed to me that they could mostly be used interchangeably, yet there were some subtle differences between the terms even though the difference between a Highly Sensitive Person and an empath can be nuanced.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As a highly sensitive woman, I've noticed that I don't always love the ways social media affects me. I use many different social networks for my author business, yet I don't love the way social media often triggers me. The bottom line is this: highly sensitive women will need to take some precautions to maintain their sense of self and be mindful of the frequency and amount of time they spend on social media daily. ]]></description>
