Therapy for Highly Sensitive Person (HSPs) in San Francisco, Bay Area & Los Angeles, CA

Are loud environments overwhelming? Do you have a difficult time processing emotions or feel drained or overwhelmed in relationships? 

Highly Sensitive Person (HSPs) is a term used to describe someone who often experiences the world with heightened emotional, sensory, and cognitive awareness. While this trait brings depth and richness to experiences, it can also lead to feelings of overwhelm, overstimulation, and emotional exhaustion that might look like some of the key characteristics:

Difficulty establishing boundaries.

• Concerned more about the other person’s feelings than your own.

• Worry that saying “no” will sound hurtful or selfish.

• Overwhelmed and overstimulated emotionally with various somatic experiences (tightness in the chest, buzzing in the brain, nausea, etc.).

• You feel the emotions of others in the room.

• Socializing is taxing because you pick up on the emotional energy of others. 

• Difficulty making decisions or life transitions (change).

Instead, therapy for HSPs can provide support so that you can…

• Increase your self-compassion and self-esteem.

• See your sensitivity as a source of strength, rather than a weakness.

• Utilize your innate abilities to tap into your intuition.

• Establish safety and grounding in the body.

• Utilize and establish energetic boundaries. 

Understand and embrace your sensitivity and turn it into a source of strength and fulfillment.
