Do You Want to Learn More About High Sensitivity?
Hello again! From your answers, it seems you’d like to find somewhere to learn about high sensitivity and related traits linked to personality and temperament. Perfect!
The Haven was one of the early online communities for highly sensitive people and introverts. Part of this work has always involved curating information and sharing research developments, to support and tweak the way we apply our theoretical understanding.
I believe the world is so much richer for knowing and embracing sensitivity - not just as something people have in varying degrees, but as something we can actively put into practice. Sensitivity plays a vital role in our collective survival strategy and cultural wealth, and I’m passionate about helping people recognise and celebrate that.
What You’ll Find Here
Our Library is a growing collection of resources where you can read, watch, and listen to content about high sensitivity and its impact on different areas of life. Whether you’re just discovering the trait or have known about it for years, you’re welcome to join us, ask questions, and explore at your own pace and in your own way.
Our community includes people at all stages of understanding high sensitivity. Some are just starting out, eager to learn how to make life work better with their sensitivity. Others have been exploring this for years and have become gentle foundations of wisdom and experience for us to lean on.
I first came across high sensitivity (albeit reluctantly) in 2011. I read Elaine Aron’s book and have been exploring it in different ways ever since, applying what I learn to my own life and creating tools and resources to help others do the same.
It’s important to note that high sensitivity isn’t an identity or personality type. We’re all different, but we share this underlying trait, which impacts how we absorb and process sensory information.
There’s something special about being in a group of HSPs, and I hope you’ll come and feel that soon!
Is Now the Right Time for You?
The Haven is for you if:
- You’re curious to learn more about high sensitivity and how it shapes your life.
- You want to explore resources and tools that help you understand and embrace how to work with rather than against your sensitivity.
- You’re looking for a community where you can ask questions, share insights, and grow your understanding alongside others.
- You fancy hanging out with me, asking questions, and sharing stories together - I love chatting about this stuff!
Whether you’re here for a season or the long term, I want to meet you where you are. Some members stay for years, building and sharing their growing wisdom with the group, while others gain clarity and inspiration for a particular challenge, project, or situation.
Perhaps you don’t yet know what you need but feel compelled to give it a try. That’s wonderful. You’re so very welcome to see how it feels.
I’d love to welcome you in and show you around The Haven. I’m so glad you’ve found us.
