Ep 261: Are you a Highly Sensitive Person?

SelfKind with Erica Webb

Ready to dive into what it really means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)? Join me, Erica Webb, for this episode of SelfKind, where we’re starting our deep-dive into this remarkable trait.
In this episode I’m introducing what being an HSP might look and feel like, including:
🌿 the core characteristics of being an HSP
💪 why being an HSP can feel like a fault, but it’s really a strength that comes with its own challenges
🫵 why I’m specifically speaking to HSPs in my work as a Somatic Exercise Coach and Counsellor
😌 why HSPs need more self-care and down-time than non-HSPs
🥰 the importance of self-kindness and compassion for HSPs.
I’m also sharing a brand new resource for my HSPs: a downloadable PDF with 3 somatic practices to help you in navigating overwhelm and over arousal.
