Sensitivity Sessions

Traveling as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)

Episode Summary

Travel when you're sensitive can be exhausting between the sensory input, lack of sleep, and navigating difficult conversations with travel companions. Join me to talk practical tips to manage sensory overwhelm and overstimulation when traveling. We also discuss how to make meaning out of traveling experiences as a sensitively-wired human.

Episode Notes

In this episode, we chat:

• considerations to minimize overstimulation when you're planning a trip

• why building in processing time during your trip can prevent overstimulation
