Ep 269: Overstimulation: Self-Awareness to the rescue?

SelfKind with Erica Webb

We’ve come to the last episode in our mini series around the overstimulated Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)! This week is all about the role of Self-Awareness in identifying and navigating overstimulation.
You will hear:
🤗 The various forms of self-awareness
👯 Why, as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) it’s so important to differentiate between your own emotions and that of others (or, at least to understand that they’re not one and the same)
🫠 Why self-awareness is critical for identifying overstimulation (and identifying it early!) and navigating it
🚫 Why we might avoid being more self-aware
❓ The role of curiosity and HOW to get curious in your noticing
🪜 Practical steps for building your self-awareness
