SelfKind: Conversations in self-care, kindness and compassion for highly sensitive people
Hi and welcome to SelfKind with me, Erica Webb. This is a podcast for Highly Sensitive People (HSP) who want to navigate the tricky bits of their sensitivity with more ease, while finding their sensitivity super powers. Here, we're all about being, living and moving through a lens of self compassion and kindness.
As your host, I meet you as a fellow HSP. I know what it's like to feel like things are too loud, too bright and just ... too much. In my work as a registered counsellor and mindful movement coach, I've supported myself and my clients to find ways to embrace their sensitivity that centre on self-compassion, nervous system regulation, self-awareness and, ultimately, self-love.
From mindfulness, mindful movement, joy seeking and a zillion and one practices in between, here you'll find space to be fully you - fully human - and the tools to navigate the tricky bits of having a highly sensitive nervous system.
I’m thrilled you’re here.

Ep 289: Scaffold your sensitivity instead of shaming it
Being a highly sensitive person can mean that certain environments feel too loud, too bright and too much. It's easy to assume that *you* are the problem in those scenarios and that you just need to find a way to suck it up and get through it. But ... there is another way.
In this episode of SelfKind join me, Erica Webb (counsellor, somatic exercise coach and HSP), as I talk about strategies to scaffold rather than shame your sensitivity.
What you'll hear in this episode:
- why I ended up running from the environments that overwhelmed me when I was younger (and what I'd do differently now)
- the key considerations for scaffolding rather than shaming your sensitivity
- why understanding your sensitivity and nervous system is key to navigating overwhelm with more skill and compassion.
