The truth is that high sensitivity is a legitimate temperament trait, not a character flaw. In fact, something like 20% of people experience what is known as “sensory processing sensitivity,” and in many ways, this trait can be a strength. Unfortunately, there are still a number of myths that can create confusion around what it actually means to be a highly sensitive person. Not only can these myths lead to misunderstanding, they can also feed into some of the negative internal beliefs that can often come along with being sensitive in an insensitive world.

Boundaries and Self-Worth: You Deserve to Be Happy

One of the keys to healing is giving yourself permission to feel good. That permission is rooted in a sense of deservingness - the belief that you are worthy of experiencing joy, connection, ease, respect, and fulfillment. Deservingness, self-esteem, and self-worth are all deeply connected to boundary setting. Setting boundaries is one of the ways we affirm our deservingness, and over time, honoring those boundaries can strengthen our sense of self-worth.
