Highly Sensitive Person traits, sensitivity, emotional healing - Have you ever been told you're "too sensitive"? Felt like your emotions were inconvenient, dramatic, or just "too much"?

Here's the truth: You're not broken-you're the canary in the coal mine. And your sensitivity isn't weakness; it's survival wisdom.

In this cinematic deep dive from Canaries in the Coal Mine, we explore what it truly means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Inspired by the pioneering research of Dr. Elaine Aron, you'll discover the four core traits of HSPs, the crucial difference between innate sensitivity and trauma responses, and why society often mistakes emotional depth for fragility.

We'll also walk through practical, real-world tools to protect your energy, honor your nervous system, and thrive in a world that often rewards speed over sensitivity.

Because here, we don't toughen up-we tune in.

🕊️ Inside this Episode:
- The 4 core HSP traits (DOES Model)
- How trauma overlaps with sensitivity (and how to tell them apart)
- How society gaslights sensitive people-and how to stop gaslighting yourself
- Powerful daily tools for Highly Sensitive People to protect their energy
