SelfKind: Conversations in self-care, kindness and compassion for highly sensitive people

Ep 293: The #1 mistake you’re making in trying to fix your sensitivity

Erica Webb Episode 293

Highly sensitive in a world that often feels too bright, too loud, too emotional ... too much? If so, don't make this mistake ... the mistake of thinking you're the problem.

Your sensitivity? It doesn't need to be fixed.
So what might it need instead?

In this episode of the podcast, SelfKind, join me, Erica Webb - registered counsellor, somatic exercise coach, yoga teacher and highly sensitive person - as I talk about the mistake of assuming your sensitivity is a flaw. 

I'm sharing three questions with you in this episode, which will hopefully spark some ideas around supporting and nurturing your sensitivity rather than shaming and blaming it.

Here are those questions: grab a notebook and see what comes out of them!
1. How would my sensitivity like to be loved?
2. If I was going to offer my sensitivity its perfect day, what would that be? What would I do (or not do)?
3. If I want my sensitivity to know that it’s not bad or in need of fixing, what would I tell it? What would I have it believe? 

Take what feels supportive, leave what doesn't, and see how you include more of that (i.e. the answers to those questions) into your everyday life.
