Sensitivity Sessions

Why Do HSPs Feel Lonely or Isolated?

Episode Summary

As sensitively wired folks, we deeply experience the world. This can come in tandem with a sense that others can't relate, feeling isolated from others because they don't feel as deeply as we do. Why might this happen? We explore from an attachment perspective and chat about how we can work toward feeling greater connection with people in our lives and the world.

Episode Notes

In this episode we cover:

• the two types of potentially harmful messages we can receive
• the importance of reflecting emotional experience and what happens when we don't experience that in infancy
• adult attachment needs & how our experiences can influence how close or distant we feel to others
• how to begin feeling less lonely and isolated as an HSP or sensitively wired person
