They share real-life examples of misunderstandings, emotional triggers, and missed signals — and offer simple ways couples and care partners can speak (and listen) with more grace.

TGM Classic | Amy Morin | 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do
How do you handle tough situations in life? Building mental strength is a critical aspect of achieving success and living a fulfilling life. It involves developing a mindset that allows you to overcome obstacles and setbacks, and maintain a positive outlook even in the face of adversity. It requires a strong sense of self-awareness, which involves understanding your strengths and weaknesses and being willing to take risks and step outside of your comfort zone. This can involve setting realistic goals, practicing self-reflection, and seeking feedback from others.

Maybe you can sense someone else's feelings, or are deeply moved by music or the beauty of nature. Sensitive to crowds, loud sounds, itchy fabrics? These are just a few things that could be indicators of being an HSP. In the 1990s Dr. Elaine Aron pioneered research on the topic of what it means...
