"Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) like myself are often challenged by feeling like they are 'too much' or that something is 'wrong' with them. We are frequently overstimulated and may struggle to manage big feelings."
"The solution to help me navigate my sensitivity was DBT. I was such a fan of DBT that I went to school to become a psychologist so I could teach other HSPs this modality."
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) assists Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) in managing overwhelming emotions and establishing boundaries. It combines validation of emotional experiences with practical skills for change. DBT emphasizes self-compassion, helping individuals understand their reactions and providing tools to navigate their sensitivity. The therapy addresses feelings of being 'too much' and offers strategies to cope with overstimulation. Many individuals find that DBT transforms their emotional landscape, enabling them to break cycles of distress and regain control over their lives.
