HSP Meet Up: Finding Balance as a HSP

About this Event

Do you relate to Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) or Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS)? Want to hang out with like-minded people? Not sure but want to find out more? Feel free to share your experiences or just come and listen. **This meet up's theme will be**: HSP x **"Finding Balance as a HSP"** As we start a New Year, I thought a good theme would be to reflect a little bit about the ups and downs of last year, and maybe finding ways for a more balanced year as a HSP. \- If your RSVP is **"waitlisted" - ignore this and just turn up**! \- Please note that the venue "The Castle" hosts other meetups\. Look for **exact location in the comments section** (so that you don't end up in a portrait drawing meet up!) **Meet up has a semi-structured format:** \- Arrivals\, grab drinks and get settled down/make ourselves comfortable\. \- A short introduction about the Meet Up and HSP\. \- Then a little ice\-breaker round\. We'll go into the topic\. \- A little break\, and after that it's free flow chat\! **Exact location:** Find us at The Castle, and check the comments section for precise location! If it gets too noisy, and weather permitting - we'll move to the nearby park. Bring something to sit on for grassy areas, just in case! **Example topics we can talk about:** \- HSP x finding balance **Some things we have discussed in previous meet ups:** \- What does HSP mean to you? \- What impact do you think culture has had on being a HSP? \- What are the great things about being a HSP? \- What is true love and do you believe in it? \- Dealing with work conflicts\. \- Value in alone time\. \- HSP x Relationships \- HSP x Career/Work \- HSP x Dating \- HSP x Superpower or Burden \- HSP x Dealing with bullies \- HSP x Positive Side of being a HSP \- HSP x Listening to trigger responses \- Traits of the HSP: * D - Depth of processing *(do you deeply analyse in some situations?)* * O - Overstimulation *(do you get exhausted easily?)* * E - Emotional reactivity *(do you get affected by other people's moods?)* * S- Sensing the subtle *(did you also notice the missing "space" between the S and -?)* Feel free to grab some refreshments or drinks from the bar (not obligatory!) *Please note this event duration is between 60-90 minutes.
