Online Therapy for Highly-Sensitive Persons (HSPs) in California
You pick up on others’ needs and feelings seamlessly, yet often feel misunderstood yourself.
You see the world differently which may leave you feeling as if you don’t “fit in.”
Due to being highly empathetic, you find it hard to say “no” and may feel taken advantage of.
It feels like you know “too much” and sometimes wish you could turn your sensitivity “off.”
If the above resonated with you, then you are exactly at the right place.
As a highly-sensitive person (HSP), you care deeply about the well-being of others. You have a hard time seeing anyone struggle in any way. You want to make the world a better place. But with that, comes a heavy weight. It may feel like you’re alone in the world. In fact, there’s not many like you. Only 15-20% of the population is estimated to be a HSP, which means you’re more than likely coming across people who are not as sensitive as you are. Being a highly-sensitive person in an insensitive world may lead you to feel as though you don’t “fit in.” Further, because you process things more deeply, absorbing all that is around you, you are more likely to experience anxiety, low mood, loneliness, exhaustion, and burnout by the end of the day.
Being a highly sensitive person means you get to be caring, thoughtful, and conscientious; qualities that many people will appreciate. At the same time, being a HSP in a world of chaos, uncertainty, and violence, can prove to be a challenge when you’re thinking and feeling as deeply as you do and care as deeply as you do. Therefore, it is crucial that you prioritize your well-being as much as you can.
The good news is, therapy can help.
Therapy can help you learn the strengths of being a HSP, how to utilize those strengths, and how to cope with and navigate its unique challenges.
By working together, you can learn:
✓ ways to cope with your deep feelings in a healthy way (such as through journaling or mindfulness practices).
✓ how to set healthy boundaries with those around you (i.e. how to say “no”)
✓ how to assert yourself with confidence so that you’re not at risk of being taken advantage of or experiencing burnout.
It is possible to be as sensitive and caring as you are without being overwhelmed by the burdens of the world.
