Erika Harris on moving beyond “coping” or “surviving”
In her ebook “You’ve Got Nerve!” An Empowerment Toolkit for Highly Sensitive People, Erika Harris helps readers celebrate and nurture themselves.
She writes, “Yes of course, we must first master HSP basics like self-care, energy-management, boundaries and joyful work.
“And while I will certainly help you with those things in each celebration, those concerns are starting-points because we are destined for quite a bit more than merely ‘coping’ or ‘surviving.’
“On personal and planetary levels, we are equipped to create and experience Heaven on Earth.
“As my favorite poet, Rumi, asked,
‘Why crawl when you can fly?’
“Yes, you may very well feel every single bump, nuance, wave and vibration (and I know they don’t all feel good), but that hasn’t stopped you. And that power to show up for life while feeling and processing 1000% more than most people is exactly what fuels your ability and calling to Lead in Light.”

Shyness and introversion may seem to be the same in some ways, at least on the surface.
They can overlap, and we may have both traits – but they are not the same thing. And they are not the same as the trait of high sensitivity.

Deepest thanks for this, Douglas! Your site is one of the best HSP resources online. It’s an honor to be mentioned on it.
HSP woman in S.E. Florida needs help.
I have been searching for 6 years now to find another HSP who suffers from C-PTSD. I was married 30 years to a psychopath.
Don’t think this could happen to you? Think again. Visit my website to see what I have done in my work. I am determined to overcome this and help other HSP’s through personal & financial holicost. I’m not here to bring you down because God know’s I was the most positive person you could have ever known. To find myself on SS Disability and trying to live on $1,000.00 a month is unacceptable. My home was paid in full. I was married 30 years and was a hard working loyal and loving wife. I built a lifestyle that was rich and I gave back generously in many ways. I can prove everything I am saying. As only a HSP researching mind can do, I had to know what was going on in my life. Dr.Robert Hare, from British Columbia and Tim Field from the UK gave me the validation I needed as if it was my breath of life. Help me so I can write for Grants and develop a healing center for the gifted. In return, I promise to find ways to recover these HSP’s and together we will watch them fly to new heights. I can do this. Trust me please.
