THANK YOU FOR VISITING THE HOMEPAGE OF HSP COACHING & COUNSELING INNER PEACE
I AM YUKIE URANO, AN HSP COACH/THERAPIST
The discomfort and anxiety you feel might be a message from your subconscious wanting to live as your true self.
This discomfort can sometimes manifest as loneliness, anxiety, or depression.
I hope to help you navigate these feelings and find a path toward understanding and embracing your unique sensitivities.
Your sensitivity is a strength that allows you to experience the world more deeply and richly. Understanding and accepting your emotions can transform this sensitivity into a powerful asset. I am here to support you through coaching and counseling, helping you find your inner peace and happiness.
What is HSP?
HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) refers to people born highly sensitive and responsive to stimuli. According to research by Dr.Elaine Aron, a leading authority on HSP, 15-20% of the population (one in five people) have HSP traits.
Traits of HSP
HSPs have unique personalities, and their sensitivity manifests differently.
Dr. Aron explains HSP traits with the acronym D.O.S.E.
D – Depth of Processing
This is a fundamental trait of HSPs. They tend to understand things from multiple perspectives and take time to make decisions or respond due to their deep thinking.
O – Overstimulation
Living in a non-HSP world can be challenging for HSPs. For example, loud noises, crowds, tastes, smells, fast-paced environments, or even hunger can be intensely stimulating.
E – Emotionally Responsive/Empathetic
HSPs tend to have strong emotional reactions to both positive and negative situations. They are often profoundly empathetic and may frequently be consulted for advice.
S – Sensing Subtleties
HSPs are often keenly aware of subtle changes in people’s expressions, voices, plants, or temperatures.
Due to these characteristics, they may experience the following challenges:
- Feeling overwhelmed by tasks.
- Experiencing anxiety or depression.
- Struggling with superficial relationships and small talk.
- Being overwhelmed by strong emotions (both positive and negative).
- Feeling misunderstood.
- Experiencing loneliness.
- Feeling stressed in work or school environments.
- Perfectionism and self-criticism.
- Difficulty saying no and prioritizing others over themselves.
While HSPs often face unique challenges due to their sensitivity, with appropriate support and understanding, they can maximize their potential, and HSP traits can become advantages:
1. High Empathy
HSPs can create good relationships by understanding and empathizing with others’ emotions. They are often excellent supporters and leaders.
2. High Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills
Deep information processing and thorough analysis lead to excellent decision-making and problem-solving.
3. Creativity
A rich inner world and emotional sensitivity often result in outstanding achievements in arts, culture, and music.
4. Strong Ethics
HSPs often have a strong sense of ethics and act responsibly towards others and the environment.
