Rewind: What It Means to be a Highly Sensitive Person

On this week’s rewind episode of ShrinkChicks, we’re revisiting one of our most-loved conversations: what does it really mean to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)? Em and Jen unpack the difference between HSPs and empaths, why sensitivity can sometimes feel like social anxiety, and how to move through a world that often labels sensitivity as a weakness. They explore what overstimulation looks like—shutting down in crowds, feeling drained after social events, or absorbing the energy around you—and why understanding your sensitivity is the first step to managing it. You’ll hear how to set internal boundaries, embrace your emotions (yes, even the crying), and find empowerment in what used to feel like “too much.” Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
