Sensitive and Strong
Welcome to Sensitive and Strong! I know how easy it is to believe your sensitivity is your greatest weakness, but through this podcast, I’ll show you how it can become your greatest strength. Together, we explore the many layers of being highly sensitive, including the unique experience of the Highly Sensitive Sensation Seeker (HSP-HSS), a nervous-system profile combining Sensory Processing Sensitivity with High Sensation Seeking, known through our work as The Wild Sensitive. We’ll dive into the challenges, joys, relationships, personal growth, and powerful gifts of sensitivity, while sharing inspiring conversations, practical tools, and meaningful insights to help you embrace who you truly are. Hosted by Annet van Duinen, Professional Certified Coach (PCC), pioneering author, and International Consultant on High Sensitivity, trained by Dr. Elaine Aron.
