Ep 309: The need for deep conversation as a highly sensitive person

SelfKind: Conversations in self-care, kindness and compassion for highly sensitive people

Are you craving deeper conversation as a Highly Sensitive Person? Wonder why small talk leaves you feeling flat? Or why your thoughts only settle into meaning once you say them out loud?
In this episode of SelfKind—a podcast for Highly Sensitive People—I unpack two often-overlooked essentials for HSP wellbeing:
🌼 External processing – why speaking, writing or moving your thoughts into the open brings clarity.
🌺 Depth of conversation – how richer, deeper conversation refuels you and is so important for your sense of wellbeing.
You'll also discover why therapy can feel like a lifeline when you need an attentive, judgment-free sounding board (an often overlooked benefit of counselling and therapy for Highly Sensitive Folk).
