How Highly Sensitive People Can Set Better Boundaries

Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) process emotions deeply, often leading to anxiety and overwhelm in relationships. Emotional sensitivity makes it challenging for HSPs to set boundaries and regulate their emotions. In therapy, particularly using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) methods, HSPs can develop strategies to advocate for themselves, creating healthier connections. The DEAR MAN technique offers a structured approach for HSPs to express their needs without guilt, fostering better emotional balance and less overwhelming interactions with others. This article emphasizes the importance of emotional understanding and self-advocacy for HSPs.
