HSP or Highly Sensitive People
from Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions · host Michael D.
Why Highly Sensitive People React So Strongly to Criticism. Criticism is inevitable. Those with HSP reactions are wired deeply in their brains. The emotional brain is where their databank of triggers and past emotional memories are stored. For sensitive people, even when they logically know that criticism is invalid, they still need to process their emotions that arise. If you’re highly sensitive, check this podcast out. Evaluate your needs and deal with the criticism. State your needs as openly, honestly, and respectfully as possible. Hold responsibility only for yourself; you are only responsible for you. Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral, physical, and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. Please be aware that it is okay to ask for help.
