Episode #285: Different, Not Defective — Why We Each Experience Life in Such Unique Ways

Grit ‘n’ Grace: The Podcast for Highly Sensitive Christian Women

Have you ever had someone tell you, “You’re just imagining things,” or “It can’t be that loud” (or that bright or that itchy)? If you’re a Highly Sensitive Person, you’ve been there. Other people’s reactions to your heightened perceptions can feel isolating, even invalidating. But your experiences aren’t wrong; they’re uniquely yours. So in this episode, we’re looking at how our DNA shapes the way we sense and respond to the world and what that means for those of us who are HSPs. We’re also talking about why it’s vital to listen to, learn from, and care for the HSP body that God has entrusted to you. Your differences aren’t defects — your differences are divine!
