Programs to encourage, inspire, and equip other introverted and Highly Sensitive People.
(To quote Andy Mort of Sheep Dressed Like Wolves, below).
See bottom of page for links to other resource pages for books, articles and more sites.
This painting is “Mindfulness” by Erika Pochybova-Johnson – a depiction, it seems to me, of the rich inner life of many creative people, especially those of us who are introverts or HSP – or both.

HSP Health – Self Actualization For The Highly Sensitive Person
“HSP Health wants to see each highly sensitive person (HSP) embrace their unique trait and gifts and take their place in the world. Most highly sensitive people do not get what they need to come into their own. The HSP Health website seeks to change that situation.”
Two HSP Health Online Courses :
There’s Nothing Wrong With You!
A Special Program For Highly Sensitive People:
Part 1: Embrace Your Special Nature: an identity focused course that helps highly sensitive people see the good in themselves and why it matters so that they have the confidence about themselves that they deserve

Alanis Morissette comments on being highly sensitive and needing to take care of herself:
“I have a lot of friends who are a non-sensitive temperament, and they will be in what I consider a wildly over-stimulating environment, and they can stick it out, but I’m imploding…overwhelmed.
“I get maxed-out more quickly than some, so it’s my responsibility that I schedule little mini-breaks throughout the day, and have enough sleep.
“It’s almost incumbent on me to make sure that I take care, in a very fierce way, in order to be able to continue to write and to be the person I want to be.”
From post: Cheryl Richardson and Alanis Morissette on High Sensitivity.

Introvert Spring
“One third to one half of the world’s population is introverted…There’s nothing wrong with you if you need to choose your words carefully… if you don’t like small talk, if you prefer to dive deep.” …
“In a world that favors extroversion, introverts are often left to wonder, ‘is there something wrong with me?’ This is unfortunate because introverts are awesome and we have so many valuable gifts to offer the world.” Michaela Chung
Quote on her site: Introvert Spring
“Our culture made a virtue of living only as extroverts. We discouraged the inner journey, the quest for a center. So we lost our center and have to find it again.” ― Anaïs Nin

“As an introvert, you might have a hard time asking for what you need….at times we need to feel supported by people we love. That support might look like a shoulder to lean on. Or it could be the gift of much needed space. Or help with daily tasks. Or a shoulder rub. Or a thoughtful message. Perhaps you secretly want and need all of the above. But do you ever ask?”
From post: “Introvert: How To Say What You Want” by Michaela Chung.

The Difference Between Shyness and Introversion
This video is an excerpt from an interview Andy Mort did with Joanna Moore “about starting your hunt for the confidence you need to do the things you really want to do in life.”
You can see the full conversation when you join the Member’s Haven area of the site.

Healthy self-esteem is a challenge for many creative, sensitive people.
“Sometimes it feels like everyone else is in on some big secret that you weren’t told about.
“It’s like, how is everyone doing that? How is everyone just so OK?
“Was I off school on the day they handed out the self-esteem manuals?
“Because, for you, feeling normal, feeling comfortable, just doesn’t come all that naturally.
“You’re always just a little bit on edge.”
From site for self-guided course: DIY Self-Esteem by Joanna Moore.

Have You Created Stories About Your Introversion?
Beth Buelow comments:
“Amongst the general public the myths tend to be regarding introversion as shyness.
“I remember going to a special event a couple of years ago and sitting next to the wife of a colleague. She asked me what I do, so I told her about my business. Her response was to say ‘but you’re not introvert, you’re talking to me‘. I felt like saying, ‘well we do talk you know!‘ But that’s a demonstration of a lot of the misunderstandings in a nut shell.
“My clients and the people I consider closer colleagues, it’s less about the myths now because a lot of that is being dispelled by people who have a lot of curiosity about this topic.
“It’s more about the stories that we make up about being an introvert.
“Even though we know it’s about energy/in and out orientation to the world there is still a tendency to make up a story around it that has to do with; ‘I’m an introvert so I’m not going to be a very good public speaker’, or ‘I’m an introvert therefore I don’t think well on my feet’, or ‘I’m not good at networking because I’m an introvert’.
“There is an intellectual understanding that has started to come forward, but there is still an emotional piece that has to follow that.”
Andy Mort adds, “This is taken from an interview I did with Beth Buelow about how to survive and thrive as an introvert in the public eye.
If you’re interested in watching the whole of our conversation then swing by and join us in the Member’s Haven where there is new and exclusive content every week to help inspire, encourage and equip us introverted and highly sensitive people live the life we want to lead.”

Resources for Introverts and Highly Sensitive People – Articles, videos, sites, quotes, books.
Introversion and high sensitivity are different, but they can also overlap and interact, and many of us experience both personality traits to some degree, perhaps along with the mild social anxiety of shyness.
People may refer to themselves or others as “shy” because it is a convenient label, but they may really be introverted or highly sensitive – perhaps also shy.
