In my work with HSP adults, one of the biggest challenges that comes up is having a non-HSP partner who has difficulty understanding the experience of being Highly Sensitive. Of course, there are many benefits to an HSP/non-HSP pairing. In this week’s blog, I’m sharing ways and resources that can help our non-HSP partners better understand and support us as Highly Sensitive People!   In this episode, you'll learn: Ways that can help our non-HSP partners better understand and support us Resources for HSPs Resources from this episode: “Supporting your Highly Sensitive Child” Course Highly Sensitive Parenthood Nourish Coaching Package Highly Sensitive Parenthood Course Highly Sensitive Parenthood Toolkit Highly Sensitive Parenthood Blog Highly Sensitive Parenthood YouTube Channel   #hsp #hspmom #momcoach #highlysensitive

Let’s be real, parenting is relentless. Many of us Highly Sensitive Parents don’t get nearly the amount of down time that we need to feel calm and energized.

On this week’s blog, I am sharing a simple but powerful suggestion that can support any parent who is feeling overwhelmed or overstimulated: Micro-breaks! Find out what are these micro-breaks can look like for you by reading this week’s blog or watching my video!

Last week’s blog about the overwhelm of birthday parties got me thinking about the pressure many parents feel to go on fun outings with their kids, even when they cause overwhelm for the Highly Sensitive parent and/or child. Of course, HSPs still want to have fun, but sometimes our version of fun may look a bit different from that of non-HSPs! This week, I’m suggesting some calm outings for sensitive parents and children to spark your imagination and give you some practical ideas about ways to connect with your child that don’t feel too draining or overwhelming.

Avoidance, tears, and big emotions - these are just a few of the ways that sensory overload can show up in Highly Sensitive (HSP) Children. While each child is different, many Highly Sensitive children struggle with both environmental overstimulation as well as emotional overwhelm. This week, I’m reflecting on some relatively common “warning signs” that your HSP child is overstimulated - I’d love to hear your thoughts on these or any other signs of overwhelm that you’ve observed in your child!

When you hear the words “overwhelm,” “overstimulation,” and “sensitivity,” what comes up for you? For HSPs, overstimulation shows up in in our thoughts, behaviors, and physical sensations, which can create additional frustration and overwhelm! The first step in managing overwhelm is to begin to understand what causes it, as well as your unique “warning signs” that you’re feeling overstimulated or overwhelmed. This week, I’m reflecting on a few common signs of overwhelm for HSP adults - I’d love to hear your thoughts on these or any other signs of overwhelm & overstimulation that you’ve experienced!
