Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore

anxiety, panic, and PTSD, sharing how you can overcome them from life.

Aloha, welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast.

And today's episode I'm talking about the idea of feeling anxious or are you actually

a highly sensitive kind of person?

And highly sensitive people are in the 20% of the population.

So 20% of the population of highly sensitive people are people who process stimulation

deeply and feel emotions intensely.

Their sensitivity gives them incredible advantages, such as noticing details that other people

miss, reading people well, and having high levels of compassion and empathy.

But it also means that they can become easily overwhelmed by day-to-day life.

High sensitivity shows up differently in each highly sensitive person.

So I want you to think about this as we're going through this episode today about both sides

of the coin of everything that we carry with us.

You know some people have other traits that are awesome and great, and those may have down

falls too.

They may have the other side of the coin too.

So if you're somebody who has some of these great advantages, such as somebody who is

detailed oriented and can notice details that other people miss, or that can read people

well, or that has high levels of compassion and empathy, not everybody has this.

So if you have this, you are considered to be a highly sensitive person, and that's not

a bad thing.
