Why Am I So Sensitive? (3 Theories)

Maybe it happens when you’re feeling buried in overwhelming emotions. Or after a sleepless night when your mind won’t stop. Or when you can literally feel the pain of someone you love, to the point that you’re suffering, too. And you ask yourself, why am I so sensitive?... Read More

Maintaining Solid Boundaries Through Challenging Holiday Situations

November 19, 2024 · In: HSP Self-Care, HSP Relationships Lori Cangilla

Maintaining Solid Boundaries Through Challenging Holiday Situations

The end of the year holidays, both secular and religious, are rapidly approaching. With them come the weight of expectations, hopes, and fantasies about what the holidays can and should be. Whatever and however you celebrate, if you’re a highly sensitive person (HSP), you’ve probably noticed that the holidays have a way of stirring up the nervous system.

But unfortunately, that isn’t the kind of magic the holidays hold. So short of that, I recommend that each of us work on maintaining solid boundaries to help us get through the challenges of the holiday season.... Read More

10 Options to Enhance Resilience While Navigating Life’s Challenges

July 16, 2024 · In: HSP Journey, HSP Coaching Lori Cangilla

10 Options to Enhance Resilience While Navigating Life’s Challenges

In graduate school, I learned through personal experience how resilience in the face of challenge is something that can be learned and developed through the process of navigating life's challenges head-on. The American Psychological Association defines resilience as “the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility and adjustment to external and internal demands.” Many highly sensitive people can learn to successfully navigate life's challenges by enhancing their resilience.... Read More
