Dear Reader,

Love... are you feeling it? Or maybe you worry about love in your life.
Is it easy?
Do you long for it?
Are you surrounded by love?
Do you love or hate Valentine's Day?

HSP, you have a big open heart. Love comes easily to you... when you are taking care of you. And sometimes there are challenges...
​
Maybe there are lonely days.
Maybe there are conflicts in your relationships.
Maybe the love is so strong it feels overwhelming.
And sometimes you might forget to first love yourself.
​
All of these experiences are normal for highly sensitive people and sensitive youth/children. When you have high empathy and strong emotional responses, love can be a little complicated, which is why I like to focus on it for an entire month.

At HSP Tools and Topics this weekend, we will talk about applying the HSP Five to Thrive to Love and Relationships. Bring your questions, ideas, scenarios, and wisdom to share. Our next meeting is on Sunday, February 8th at 1pm Pacific. Register here.
​
Did you catch the fascinating class, Making Relationships Work Even When a Cave Sounds Good, when it was live? If not, you can still get access to the recording and hear my conversation with Dr. Art Aron (Elaine's husband) and a famous, respected researcher in the psychology of love and intimacy. (Link to recording below.)
​
Lots of love,
Alane
