Summary

This week, Dr. Corey and Irene Fehr discuss the concept of highly sensitive people (HSPs) and how it relates to sexual desire in long-term relationships.

We explore the different types of sexual desire models, with most women being highly responsive. And we also delve into the characteristics of HSPs, including sensory sensitivity, emotional sensitivity, energetic sensitivity, and introspection.

Irene explains the importance of acknowledging and managing overstimulation for HSPs, as well as the need for emotional de-armoring and a slow, spacious progression in physical intimacy.

Our conversation emphasizes the importance of self-care and collaboration in creating a better connectedness within the dynamic of a relationship.

Takeaways

Highly sensitive people (HSPs) tend to be highly responsive and sensitive to their environment, both sensorially and energetically.
HSPs have a sensitive nervous system wiring, which leads to more input being registered and more time spent processing that information.
HSPs may experience overwhelm, overstimulation, and a sense of armoring as a result of their heightened sensitivity.
Creating transition times and practicing self-care are essential for managing overstimulation and de-armoring.
Emotional dearmoring involves opening up emotionally and having heart-to-heart conversations to melt the armor and foster intimacy.
In physical intimacy, HSPs need a slow, spacious progression that focuses on touch that is first affectionate and comforting before becoming more sensual and sexual.
