Ep 327: How to Introduce Signs of Safety for your Highly Sensitive Nervous System

If you're a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), your brain and nervous system is working hard to process a LOT of information. And with that information, it's making decisions: how much evidence is there that we're safe? How much evidence is there that we're under threat? One really kind thing you can do for yourself is introduce - intentionally - more signs of safety; little comforts and reminders that ground you. In this episode of SelfKind - a podcast for highly sensitive people- let's explore this idea in simple ways, by looking at personal signs of safety through objects and clothing that bring joy and comfort. Mentioned in this episode:🌿 The Thriving as a Highly Sensitive Practitioner Workshop! 🌿https://highsensitivity.com.au/thriving-as-a-highly-sensitive-practitioner/Tuesday 3rd March 2026This workshop is designed specifically for highly sensitive counsellors and practitioners who want to thrive in the industry without burning out, shrinking themselves, or trying to become someone they’re not.We’ll focus on equipping highly sensitive practitioners to be their best, most authentic selves, while learning how to truly care for the carer.
