This week, we’re carrying on our mini series about tools for overstimulation. If you’re a highly sensitive person (HSP), you know all about overstimulation … it’s par for the course. But … you absolutely do not have to be a slave to it. So, what can you do?
This week I’m sharing all about Self-Compassion as a tool for navigating overstimulation. It’s powerful and deceptively simple. In this episode you will hear:
🫠 Why negative self-talk comes so easily to us HSPs and why it can be problematic
💙 Why self-compassion is a precursor to self-kind action
🧠 How self-compassion influences the nervous system
😳 How to engage in self-compassion - even when it feels all kinds of awkward.
