The Rollercoaster Ride of an HSP in Love
Learning about your temperament, and discussing it with your partner, can smooth out the bumps.
I warmly invite you to join The HSP Revolution membership community — where I host two live workshops per month, post daily inspiration, and provide opportunities to share and connect. The next workshop is “Managing our energy as HSPs,” on Wednesday 22nd February at 8pm GMT.
Access to this weekly newsletter is now reserved primarily for community members. I will continue to send one complete edition per month free to all existing subscribers. To continue reading the whole newsletter each week, please do join us in the membership community. See you there!
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I couldn’t resist devoting this week’s edition of The HSP Revolution to the theme of romantic love and relationships.
Needless to say, relationships can be very challenging at times — activating attachment patterns formed in early childhood, and touching on our rawest emotional wounds. However, relationships are also the key pathways through which we grow and evolve, and reflecting on our relationship style can be an important path to self-discovery, whether we’re in one or not.
Thankfully, Dr Elaine Aron, the American psychologist who coined the term Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), has a special interest in relationships, and has written a lot we can learn from — infused with the understandings she developed during her research, and her 50-years-and-counting marriage to fellow psychologist Arthur “Art” Aron.
