What we’re about
The purpose of this group is to build community to Connect, Inform and Empower Sensitive People of all ages and interests in San Diego. I want to help you Love and Honor your sensitivity, and learn to take Excellent care of Your Self...so you can happily thrive in your personal life, professionallife and social life.
Highly Sensitive People, or HSPs as described by Elaine Aron in her various books, are a normal group of people - 15 to 20% of the population - who have common gifts, and challenges, that can make them feel out of step with the mainstream way of living.
In trying to find neutral to positive words to describe this trait, she settled on saying we have a 'greater receptivity to stimulation' and often need to manage ourselves and the world in a different way than those who aren't so sensitive (the majority in our not-so-sensitive culture).
I hope this group can be your sensitive-friendly place to make friends, learn, have fun and find support and encouragement.
If you think you're sensitive, or intuitive, or have been called introverted or shy, or are an NF in the Myers Briggs world (INFP, INFJ, ENFP, ENFJ), I invite you to come check us out.
I am a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) , an INFJ in MyersBriggs speak, a relationship coach and a Marriage and Family Therapist here in San Diego. I'm a Boston transplant since 1995, and my life changed after I learned to understand my Sensitivity trait and how to lovingly look out for myself. I'd love to open this window for you - please join us.
