The more you understand yourself as a Highly Sensitive Person, the more you'll find the need for self-care practices and tools.

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>

					<description><![CDATA[Have you ever been told you’re “too sensitive” or asked why you react so strongly to everyday events? It’s common for people to mistake a highly sensitive or hypersensitive nature for a flaw or weakness, but this trait is much more complex than people realize. Being a hypersensitive person means you process emotions, environments, and social cues more deeply and intensely than most, and it is called the highly sensitive person trait (HSP)--a personality trait and not a flaw or disorder.]]></description>
