How much does the online group cost?

I loved doing this exercise with you ❤.. thanks..it was needed ☺️🙏

Days before a full moon …extreme , extreme swings… i no longer have a cycle … the only way I picked up on it was journaling years ago, I saw a huge difference in the moods and exhaustion

thank you 🙏❤

I'm happy and calm when fall and winter approach. When summer comes, I get depressed.

the other day i said to a friend, i just want to press the pause button on the world, until i have recharged and am ready to go on with life.

😌

thank you for this video :)

I always knew since I was a little girl that I was unique & special. But I’m just putting a name & vocabulary to me being a HSP a couple of months ago 🙌🏾🫶🏾 now I feel seen heard & understood now 🙌🏾🥰 I love this beautiful channel Sensitive strengths 🩵

ive been waiting for this topic!

Excellent podcast with lots of wonderful tips. 🍏

Thank you so much for this talk. I went to both of Kate’s links and they didn’t work. I am hoping they will work soon. Thank you again very much. 💜

I listened to this conversation on the Sensitive Strength website .The validation in hearing our shared experience of trying to make socializing work just warmed my heart! I think its confusing as a child when you are both interested in people but want them to go away and not engage you, at the same time. All the details of Ibinye's journey are just so familiar. Her confidence in navigating socializing made me feel that I am on the right track for finding a way that is better than totally isolating and that I can learn to be confident in expressing my needs in this arena so its not such a huge weighted stressor. The nightmare of surprise parties and having to scope out a restaurant like the secret service had me laughing out loud in my kitchen! I can do whatever I want to do how I want to do them!

'That hurt me, we don't allow people to hurt us just because we think it's unkind to set a boundary' This is so powerful! I always saw myself as super sensitive, now that I've realized that I REALLY am a HSP I'm finally able to start understanding my needs, boundaries and ways of seeking peace. I relate so much to Ibinye's narrative and experiences. Thank you for these beautiful words and reflections. I appreciate a lot the work you put on helping others through your YT videos. Have a wonderful week ahead!

“ You can do whatever you want to do; you just have to figure out the how. You can be loud; you can be quiet; you can be ambitious; you can take one thing at a time; you can move slowly; you can move quickly. You just have to figure out what this HSP thing is for you - and just figure out how to move through it - and you can accomplish things however you want.” Beautifully said. Thank you!

This was such a great video. Exactly what I needed to hear today.

I hope this video finds many viewers... what a simple yet effective tool!❤

You have a very soothing way of presenting things. Thank you for this. 😊

Thank you for this. HSP awareness is so crucial, and watching your videos has helped me realize that my struggles could have been largely prevented if I, and just as importantly those close to me, had had good information and support. The challenges HSPs face can lead to feelings of inferiority, isolation, resentment, hopelessness, feeling misunderstood. For me, this has led to anxiety and depression, and your kind and clear motivation to help is really appreciated. It helps me feel validated and empowered, and I really appreciate your work.

Amazing ✨Thank you for sharing ❤

Thanks for the great clip! Very good advice and info and I'm glad there's a channel for people like this. HSP's are a small part of the general population so its difficult to find like-minded people such as myself. I identify as an HSP as well as Myers Briggs INFJ, so the world feels very overwhelming and lonely at times.

Will be thinking about this

HSM here. I really enjoy your interviews. Thanks very much.

I SO relate to looking back at my life, all the way to child hood, seeing how I was using so many behaviors to manage my sensitivity without knowing why I needed to do these things . Feeling weird and guilty for needing to do everything differently. My body was screaming for help! I’m sad that my little self’s needs were never validated or fully met and grieve the confidence I could have had in my uniqueness had I know I was a HSP and what that meant. Melissa’s story of insisting on living her true self life is so hopeful even with the inevitable messiness ! I hope I can get to a point where I use all the language I now have to verbalize what I need and why so articulately !

Thanks

Very helpful. Thanks.

Thank you! L

I never knew there was a term for someone like me. Thank you. Highly sensitive person. This is me! Keep doin what you're doin ladies.

Help!!! I hate living with a loud and abrasive in-law, but due to a lifelong struggle with paralyzing fear and self-doubt, I never trusted myself to live completely on my own. I'm in my 60s and currently in therapy, but I'm having a terrible time moving on with life.

This has been fantastic advice! You make it so easy to relate to, and the examples are very tangible/practical. Thank you April :) As always

What's that lamp behind you? I like how it looks and its gentle orange light is calming. Could you share the link to smth similar? The technique is helpful, thank you.

We're both working from home, and I find it really hard to explain to my husband why I need alone time. Also, he hates being outside our home, so I have to get creative and find ways to unwind in his presence. It's hard because, for example, I can never let myself cry in his presence or show any emotions. A hotel room is great, but alone time at home is the most valuable.

YES .. there’s so many details and things going on in transitions especially if other people are involved , it just seems like a huge undertaking . I’m anxious and overwhelmed thinking about it. I’m always the LAST one 😭 which is crazy as while I’m at work or a class or home I’m so attentive to to so many things

Exactly! Perfectionism is a way to be seen. But it's not worth it, i'd better live unnoticeably.

Thank you. I used to berate myself for not being consistent, even though I did have my ways of getting things done. Your video gave me permission to find work and systems that let me work in my own rhythms.

Wonderful content and such a lovely voice.

So excited to have found this channel!! ❤ I am definitely highly sensitive and highly ambitious 😊

Thank you. I really enjoyed your video. And feel more normalised now 🥰 and less pressure

I felt like this episode was literally about me! I hung on every word . Knowing there are others struggling with and working on the same issues is incredibly validating, after years of feeling that my needs were just too much and an imposition on those around me . Thank you both for this episode! 💖💖

I think I just had a lightbulb moment!

It’s so refreshing to receive validation from someone who understands.

Learned and related so much! Julie thanks for speaking to neurodivergence as well! As an autistic HSP sometimes if I'm talking about my special interests I can definitely miss cues and time can get away from me, but I'm constantly working on that and genuinely want to hear about others.

This was so brilliant and validating. I’m walking away with so many nuggets of wisdom and love that you landed on a sense of hope! Thank you!

thank you, enjoyed your conversation!

This is exactly what I have sometimes! I often call it ”temporary ADHD” but mostly it's just a sign I badly need to rest somewhere in peace and quiet. Thank you!

Now, I have reached the point where I need to take a long break from responsibility. This means quitting my job, as I constantly feel it limits my freedom, even during vacations or weekends. I don't like my job and the reminder of it poisons my free time. At the same time, I feel shameful and ungrateful for having thoughts like this. It's not easy to find a new well-paid job now, and I'm not overloaded with tasks. My work-life balance is quite good. The issue is also that I don't feel my services at work are of any significance. My work is simple unnecessary. That drives me mad sometimes.

I have all those sensitives and thought I was highly sensitive but now at 45.. learned that I'm actually autistic. It was due to my severe burnout that brought me here. learning how to unhook from over giving was a huge part of trying to heal. and learning that my sensitivity is actually a strength. and to protect it .

Great interview!! Wish you success on your channel.
