Summary

Do you find yourself deflecting compliments and absorbing criticism deeply? Hypervigilance, a trait developed from traumatic childhood experiences, can make it challenging to receive positive feedback. We explore how Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) can reprogram this response through mindfulness and meditation, improving their mental health. Understand the importance of building healthy boundaries to filter what should be accepted and what should be kept out, fostering a more positive self-view.
