Ep 289: Scaffold your sensitivity instead of shaming it

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

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.
