Summary

I realized recently that I haven't done an episode (in detail) about the benefits of high sensitivity.

HSPs are meant to be here. We have a role to play in this world.

I plan to do a few episodes about this topic--since there is so much to cover--but this specific show is about the people who are celebrated for their sensitivity. That's right--those who are successful and respected due in part to their sensitive nature and what they bring to the world.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Highly Sensitive Person Podcast, a twice monthly podcast for people who experience
0:09.0	the world intensely. Join me on a journey of acceptance of our highly sensitive person traits.
0:18.0	Welcome to episode 59 of the HSP podcast. I'm your host, Kelly. This is a show for people who have
0:25.3	sensory processing sensitivity. I share stories, reflections, and personal experiences about the
0:31.8	benefits and struggles of being highly sensitive, from my perspective. Before I start, I'd like to share an email I recently received from a listener named Clara,

0:44.4	She wrote,
0:45.1	I discovered HSP during my lifelong, self-diagnosing journey of going through books and articles
0:51.8	about depression, borderline disorder, which I was diagnosed
0:55.5	with and really believed, bipolar disorder, antisocial disorder, and many more, believe it or not.
1:02.3	That part of my life was over when I started listening to your podcasts. I had read about
1:06.9	HSP and was already on board, but listening to a real person, as simple as that sounds,
1:12.3	made it real to me, made me hear and not just read that I'm not alone and that I'm fine,
1:18.6	that everything I struggled with so much growing up actually was a great part of myself,
1:23.6	that I should be proud and not ashamed of. Thank you so much, Clara, for that really lovely testimonial.
1:31.2	That's completely the reason I started the show,
1:33.4	was to try to help others realize that they aren't the only ones who feel this way.
1:38.0	You aren't crazy, wrong, or weird, you're normal.
1:41.9	If you're a longtime listener of this show,
1:44.1	you might be wondering what's going on
1:45.5	with the format. The previous two shows have been interviews, whereas all the shows before that were
