Support Resources for HSP, Overwhelmed, and Deeply Feeling Parents
This week’s blog is a little different - instead of sharing my reflections on a topic, I’m simply sharing some of my favorite resources for HSP, Overwhelmed and Deeply Feeling Parents. I’m organizing them by type, and many of them include links so that you can explore the resource further. I sincerely hope that you find these supportive!
Podcasts
Highly Sensitive Parenthood Podcast - This is my podcast, and features ideas, content, and discussions just for Highly Sensitive Parents!
Holding Space Podcast - Hosted by a licensed therapist, this podcast dives deep into topics related to parenthood, and has a handful of episodes that include discussions around High Sensitivity!
Happy as a Mother Podcast - Also hosted by a licensed therapist, this podcast focuses specifically on motherhood and includes practical tips as well as interviews with other professionals.
Professional Support
Therapy - If you’re struggling with your mental health, or are just not feeling like yourself, therapy can help! Make sure to seek out a therapist who is knowledgeable about High Sensitivity and parenthood. You can find a list of HSP-knowledgeable therapists on Dr. Elaine Aron’s website, but even simply googling “HSP Therapist in [your state, province, or country]” can yield helpful results. If you’re in California, I would love to support you in my role as a therapist at Inner Nature Therapy.
Postpartum Support International also offers many resources for parents - free support groups, peer-to-peer support, referrals to trained professionals, etc. - even for those parents outside of the immediate postpartum period.
Nourish Coaching Package for HSP Parents - If you’re looking for personal support to reduce stress and overwhelm, and to boost confidence and enjoyment of day-to-day parenthood as an HSP parent, consider working with me using my Nourish Coaching Package (LINK) or contact me (LINK) to create a customized coaching package to meet your needs.
Highly Sensitive Parenthood Course - My HSP Parent Course provides an expert-led deep dive into the many ways that Highly Sensitive people experience parenthood, in a self-paced online format. Including guided meditations, in-depth videos on how the HSP trait impacts parents, and simple yet powerful practices, this course will empower you to be a calm and joyful parent.
