I share what I find hard and what I’m hearing is hard for HSPs. I also share the results of a poll I did on what self-care HSP therapists are doing that helps. Visit HSPpodcast.com to leave comments about what is hard and what’s helping.

P.S. Want more tips to reduce challenges and increase access to your gifts as a sensitive person? I’ll send support every week. Sign up for the Sensitive Empowerment newsletter here.
