As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and as a neurodivergent HSP, you live in a world that often feels overwhelming and hostile to your very existence. You're not just dealing with the everyday stressors of work and life, but also the deeper, existential challenges of belonging, identity, and purpose. At the intersection of these identities, it's no wonder burnout can hit so hard. That’s where existential therapy, combined with an ACT approach, comes into play—helping you not only navigate life’s questions but also giving you the tools to live authentically, with intention and courage.

You’re burnt out from constantly giving without replenishing, deeply empathetic to the point where the world’s pain weighs on you, and keenly aware of what and who is around you in ways that make your environment feel overwhelming. These feelings of exhaustion, combined with anxiety and a sense that life (or what you do) lacks meaning, are not uncommon, especially if you’re a high-achieving, highly sensitive, queer millennial navigating a culture that undervalues rest and authenticity.

What if the problem isn’t that you’re not doing enough, but that you haven’t had the space to live in alignment with your true self?

As we head into the 2024 presidential election, many of us in the LGBTQIA+ and Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) communities are feeling the weight of the political climate. The stakes are impossibly high. The fear of policy changes, increased discrimination, and the general atmosphere of division can leave us feeling overwhelmed and helpless. Let’s talk about how we can navigate this as queer HSPs.

Navigating life with heightened sensitivity can be both a beautiful and challenging experience. As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), you possess unique traits that allow you to connect deeply with the world around you. However, without the right tools and understanding, your sensitivity can sometimes feel overwhelming. This guide is here to help you recognize the gifts of being an HSP and provide strategies to navigate life with greater ease and joy.
