Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the energy of those around you? In this episode of Compassionate Conversations, Esther Kane shares valuable tools for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) to build and maintain healthy relationships. Drawing from her extensive experience as a psychotherapist, Esther emphasises the importance of self-reflection and taking things slowly when forming connections. She suggests checking in with your emotions and physical sensations after interactions to gauge how they affect you.
Are you feeling light and joyful, or drained and irritable? These reflections can help you decide whether a relationship is worth nurturing. Esther also advises setting boundaries with technology and not being constantly available, as HSPs need ample alone time to recharge. She highlights the concept of 'speedy energy' – the rushed, anxious feeling that can disrupt our natural calm. By avoiding people who perpetually operate at high speed, HSPs can cultivate more peaceful and fulfilling relationships.
Esther's insights are both practical and compassionate, making this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to create more meaningful connections. Tune in to learn how to honour your sensitivity while fostering relationships that enrich your life.
