  • What Is Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) Support Group About?
    Highly sensitive people make up 20% of the world’s population, yet so many of us feel like we’re alone in navigating our sensitivity. There are many components to sensitivity, including emotional depth and sensitivity, sensory sensitivities to the environment, taking care of the physical body, and relationship difficulties. Sensitive people have rich inner lives and when they come together, lots of fruitful discussions are formed. This group will focus on raising awareness of highly sensitive traits and finding support in the more challenging aspects of it. Insight will be given on how to navigate these difficulties by the facilitator and peer members.
  • What is your founding story?
    As a highly sensitive person myself, I have known I was sensitive since I was a little girl. I had a vivid imagination and I was incredibly shy, not speaking to most people until I became older. I have experienced immense emotional depth and navigated myself through my sensitivity by learning how to take care of my emotional and physical self. Spirituality has also played a role. By creating this support group, I wanted to create a safe space where highly sensitive people could feel less alone and learn from each other.
  • Who are the facilitators behind Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) Support Group?

    Hi! My name is Isha and I am so excited to work with you. I am currently a counselling psychologist based in Bangalore offering online psychotherapy to individuals 16+.

    I graduated with my Master’s of Social Work, a clinical degree, in the US in 2022 and then spent time in community mental health working with the severely mentally ill. After that, I moved to India and started my practice where I have had success working with individuals with a diverse range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, work stress, caregiving, grief and loss, and highly sensitive people.

    I have facilitated support groups for individuals with bipolar disorder and depression.



    Notes: The above information may change from time to time, and is shared with you to understand the background of where the support group comes from.
  • When was your support group founded? How has the journey been since then?
    This group is newly launched so this is a fresh journey for all of us! I am excited to create a space where highly sensitive people can share their experiences and gain community support. We can host in person social events as well if there is interest.
  • Who is your support group for?
    Individuals who identify as having traits of high sensitivity, no matter how trivial it might seem to you. Those seeking a community to share their experiences of being highly sensitive
  • Explain your group's approach towards helping a person's mental health care.
    This group is collaborative in the sense that all members and facilitators have a chance to provide feedback and support to each other. Members will feel validated and ideally feel safe to express themselves to the group. Elements of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy will be used, including radical acceptance, non attachment, and emotion regulation skills. Somatic healing techniques will be used as well to regulate the body.
  • What is your group's approach towards professional mental health care interventions?
    Since this is a group for highly sensitive people, any mental health concerns will be referred to trusted therapist contacts. However, there is an open and safe space to discuss non-urgent mental health concerns related to being highly sensitive in the group.
  • What conversations is your support group not equipped to support?
    We are not equipped to work with complex trauma cases, nor do we allow discussions detailing traumatic experiences. We also will refer you to a therapist or emergency services if you express suicidal intent. We are not equipped to treat mental health issues, we are simply a space to share your experiences of being highly sensitive.
