Patricia is also the host of the Unapologetically Sensitive Podcast.  Patricia knows what it’s like to feel like an outcast, misfit, truth-teller or black sheep. Learning about being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation and a sense of compassion. She created a podcast called Unapologetically Sensitive that focuses on the strengths HSPs have BECAUSE of their sensitivity. Her tagline is: Sensitivity is nothing to apologize for; it’s our superpower! Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for HSPs that focus on self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, and creating a lifestyle that honors us.  Here's what was discussed:   - Patricia identifies and describes what it means to be an HSP - What is supportive and meaningful to HSP's - What can be difficult for HSP's during a pandemic (and during "normal" times) Resources https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/ Leave me a message via Speakpipe by going to https://therapychatpodcast.com and clicking on the green Speakpipe button.
