Understanding the highly sensitive person
Being highly sensitive can be a challenge, but building understanding can help turn your sensitivity into a powerful tool.

Being a highly sensitive person isn’t easy. Without carefully coming to understand the way you function and process emotion and interaction, you can find yourself becoming overwhelmed or overcome in this chaotic world. From the physical stressors of day-to-day living, to the emotional burden of our closest relationships — when you’re a highly sensitive person it takes a lot of understanding to find an even-footing and the happiness we’re all so desperately looking for.
If you want to harness the power of your sensitivity, you have to start by understanding it and the way it impacts your life. Only by getting to the root of your sensitive nature and the disruptions it causes can you get real about setting boundaries that work for you and the future you want to create. Step back from the overwhelm and the pressure and the emotional labor. Step into freedom by increasing your knowledge. Sensitivity is a great gift, but it has to be shifted and reshaped in ways that better serve our purpose and our path.
