Highly sensitive and misunderstood? A story about blue glasses, being believed and feeling validated

If you're a highly sensitive person, there's a good chance you know what it feels like to be misunderstood and to have your experiences minimised or invalidated. It sucks! In this episode of SelfKind - a podcast for highly sensitive people - I'm sharing a story about my new blue glasses. This isn't a story about why everyone needs blue glasses (nope, not at all); it's a story about how powerful it can be to be believed and understood after years of feeling like you must be making your struggles up.
