S2E8: How to thrive as a therapist with traits of highly sensitive people (HSP) with Amy Pinnell, MSW, RSW
On today's episode of The Flourishing Therapreneur we are joined by Amy Pinnell, MSW, RSW of @sensitivesocialworker
This episode is for you if are:
- Contemplating whether you are a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and how you got here (spoiler: you were born with it!)
- Curious about which traits of being a HSP make us good therapists and help our clients succeed in therapy
- Interested in honoring HSP traits in private practice and valuing these in your business
- Struggling with burnout and want to bring balance back to your private practice
- And wondering how to flourish as a HSP in private practice by looking inward and participating in deep self-care.
I learned so much sitting down with Amy to talk about Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and how HSP function as therapists in private practice. We chatted about the many qualities that HSP possess that make us really good therapists and how these qualities help our clients feel seen and successful. We tackle burnout for HSP, including how burnout can happen and how we as HSP can offset this unhealthy capacity. Finally, true to the Flourishing Therapreneur mission, we explore how HSP can flourish as therapists, including setting boundaries for our energy and utilizing soul-nourishing self-care techniques. If you think you might be a HSP (and even if you think you’re not!), check out this episode to better understand yourself and learn how you can set yourself up for success as a therapist in private practice.
