It's just easier to avoid overwhelming and overstimulating places, spaces, things and people as a Highly Sensitive Person, isn't it?! Well ... sometimes but not always. Like everything, the honest answer is 'it depends'.

If you are a Highly Sensitive Person then it's likely you know the feeling of wanting to avoid the things that are dysregulating. Whether it's a social situation, a high pressured environment, public speaking or something else, you might be familiar with the urge to avoid. Sometimes that is the kindest, most supportive answer. And sometimes? Sometimes we WANT to be in those overstimulating places - we just don't want to be overstimulated!

Join me, Erica Webb, for this episode of the podcast, SelfKind, where I'm sharing some questions you can ask yourself to figure out: avoid or not?

Mentioned in this episode:
🏠 SOMA:HOME starts late April 2025 and now is the time to jump on the early interest list!

This group program for highly sensitive people will support you to befriend your sensitivity, your body and your needs. Through mindful movement, nervous system regulation and potent self-enquiry, you'll come to see your sensitivity and your body through a lens of self-kindness and compassion AND you'll be more equipped to navigate overwhelm and overstimulation, self-criticism, doubt and anxiety.
