This episode is a stroll through our experience of relationships as HSPs with both HSPs and non-HSPs. Most of what we say really applies to all relationships - romantic or not. We explore the different ways we do this and our intention is to give you some food for thought.
We talk about:
The importance of believing that high sensitivity is a real thing - the belief allows us to understand the trait, explain it to others and thrive
How hard it can be to express ourselves particularly when we are focussed on others so much of the time - as HSPs we feel so much and process so deeply it can be a challenge to express it all
Knowing what you need and how to advocate for yourself - this gives you the space to be a better partner, friend etc and by attending to our needs we release the other from the responsibility
People pleasing - we touch on this and will do a whole podcast on it later in the series
Slowing down
Self-compassion
Our tendency towards caretaking and over-giving - the natural by-product of having so much empathy
Boundaries - again we touch on this and will do a whole podcast on this later in the series
Seeking out other HSPs
Choosing who gets our energy
Being careful about using our HSP powers without realising it - many of us are natural coaches and can step into the coach role when others may not want it.
