*From The Highly Sensitive Person Podcast*

A popular misconception about Highly Sensitive people--to those who aren’t very familiar with the trait--is that HSPs are always emotionally fragile and not mentally strong.

But this isn't true. You CAN be mentally strong and an HSP--it's all about your coping skills. That’s why I’m excited to share with you Episode 61's guest, Amy Morin, who is an expert on mental strength.

Amy is a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, professor, a TED talk speaker, and published author. In 2013, her post "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do", went viral, and ended up being published into a bestselling book and translated into 20 languages. Her post was the most read article of all time on Forbes.com.

I was moved by her story and the challenges she’s dealt with in her life, and how she’s found a way to thrive and become an authority on helping others learn how to better cope.

In this episode, Amy talks about:

-The most common thing mentally strong people don't do
-How to build mental strength
-Why seeing a therapist can help, even if you go just once
-What therapists think about Highly Sensitive People
-How to stop dwelling on the past
-How to deal with anticipatory grief
