How to understand ourselves as a Highly Sensitive Person with counselor Jacquelyn Strickland

Counselor Jacquelyn Strickland on highly sensitive people. Topics include:

• Self esteem and self worth "influenced by so many variables..."

• The "idea of acting versus reacting is so important..."

• "When we focus on our needs, we're much more able to set healthy boundaries."

• Overwhelm for HSPs versus Dabrowski overexcitabilities .

Jacquelyn Strickland is "a Licensed Professional Counselor, working exclusively with highly sensitive people. She also offers consultations and accepts speaking engagements about the trait of Sensory Processing Sensitivity. She co-created (with Dr. Elaine Aron) The HSP Gathering Retreats."

Near the end of the interview, I ask her about the work of Polish psychiatrist Kazimierz Dabrowski - here is a related article (with podcast episode): How mental health symptoms can be reframed as positive – Chris Wells on Overexcitability.
