HSP Notes: HSP Bookstore

HSP Bookstore

Some years ago, I created an Amazon "gadget" that was supposed to run my HSP bookstore.

Sadly, the eternal changes and rules updates of Amazon made it too much work to keep up with... and with the latest iteration of changes, it just stopped working, altogether. So now I will have to figure something else out.

In the meantime, my apologies for having a mostly blank page here!

Welcome to HSP Notes!

I am a Highly Sensitive Person. I have always known this, but I discovered there was a "name" for it in 1997, and have spent the ensuing years learning all I can about the innate aspects of the trait, about myself, and what it means in my life. Although relatively few people are aware of it, as many as 15%-20% of the population are HSPs. Unfortunately, "being sensitive" carries some incorrect negative connotations and cultural biases that often lead sensitive people to "misdiagnose" themselves, or hide their true nature.

This site is much more than just "a blog;" since 2002 it has offered a conglomeration of articles, personal stories, HSP community news, as well as information resources for HSPs, whether you've just discovered that "Hey! This is ME!" or have been exploring the meaning of "being sensitive" for a long time. Welcome, and thank you for your interest!

Support for HSP Notes!

All the information you find here is basically free and available to all. For more than 20 years, I have been sharing HSP related articles, links and other useful information.

I do this as a "labor of love," and unlike many other HSP's with web sites, I have no coaching practice, therapy, seminars, workshops, books or other ways to "profit" from what I do.

Instead, I offer a few totally voluntary ways for you to help out if you found something useful here:

Consider visiting my Etsy shop for my painted Alchemy Stones, and support me by buying HSP created art — for yourself, or as gifts.

Become a voluntary "HSP Notes subscriber" through my Patreon account, for as little as $2.00 (other support levels are available). Every little bit helps.

Or you can throw a couple of dollars in my "virtual tip jar," as a one-time donation.

Links to each option are below; thank you in advance for any support!

Learning About the HSP Trait

Having had the privilege of meeting 100s of fellow HSPs in person, and 1000s in cyberspace, I have learned that the single most important difference between those who feel like they are suffering with their sensitivity, and those who are thriving, is information and knowledge. The more you know and understand, the more you can work with your sensitivity as a gift, rather than experiencing it as a burden.

The links in the first section below are to some of the most significant informational HSP sites on the web. The second set of links are to therapists and life coaches who have a thorough understanding of the trait-- most of them I know personally, and they generally accept phone/email/online chat sessions. The third links section includes web sites I believe to be "of general interest" to HSPs, based on the common interests highly sensitive people have shared with me, over the years.

The Importance of Connecting

Another extremely important way for an HSP to find inner peace is "connection." This may sound counterintuitive to those who are introverts, reclusive and feel easily overstimulated by people. However, nobody understands what it is like to be a highly sensitive person like another highly sensitive person. Hence it is very important for HSPs to connect with fellow HSPs.

The links in this section are to sites that offer various ways for HSPs to connect with each other, from web-based discussion groups and forums, to HSP workshops, gatherings and retreats.
