Ep 261: Are you a Highly Sensitive Person? Artwork

SelfKind with Erica Webb

Hi and welcome to SelfKind with me, Erica Webb (formerly The Movement and Mindfulness Podcast). This is a podcast about what it means to be, live and move through a lens of self-kindness. We’ll look at the way self-kindness can underpin our practices in movement, mindfulness, and mindset to support us to be and do the things we so desire in the world. It is my firm belief that self-kindness underpins any true self-acceptance, and one of the greatest pursuits we can ever engage in is that of being in a kind and honest relationship with ourselves. Mindful movement and developing a self-kind mindset are the tools I share and my guests do too - among much more. I’m thrilled you’re here. Let’s do this.

Ep 261: Are you a Highly Sensitive Person?

April 25, 2024 • Episode 261

Ready to dive into what it really means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)? Join me, Erica Webb, for this episode of SelfKind, where we’re starting our deep-dive into this remarkable trait.

In this episode I’m introducing what being an HSP might look and feel like, including:
🌿 the core characteristics of being an HSP
💪 why being an HSP can feel like a fault, but it’s really a strength that comes with its own challenges
🫵 why I’m specifically speaking to HSPs in my work as a Somatic Exercise Coach and Counsellor
😌 why HSPs need more self-care and down-time than non-HSPs
🥰 the importance of self-kindness and compassion for HSPs.

I’m also sharing a brand new resource for my HSPs: a downloadable PDF with 3 somatic practices to help you in navigating overwhelm and over arousal.
