Powerful skills to build emotional resilience and celebrate your sensitivity for the gift it is! Have you been told that you are "too sensitive?" Do your emotions often feel intense or overwhelming? If so, you may be a highly sensitive person (HSP). HSPs are often empathic, intuitive, and passionate, but they can also struggle with strong emotions. This book will help you understand and balance your emotions and reframe your emotional sensitivity as a strength-not a weakness. Using skills from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), this evidence-based guide will show you how to increase emotional resilience and learn to appreciate your sensitivity for the superpower it is! With this book, you'll learn to understand and regulate your emotions, "read" your body's physical responses to difficult emotions and discover effective ways to self-soothe when the outside world feels overwhelming. You'll also find strategies to help you deal with difficult or challenging interactions with others. Emotional sensitivity is a gift, but it's important to learn how to manage your emotions, so they don't get in the way of relationships and reaching your goals. With this book as your guide, you'll find the balance you need to be your very best.
