Top Ten Reasons to Have a HSP Dyad Partnership©
by Jacquelyn Strickland, LPC and Molly Sheahan

Here is another top ten list that  is  shared at the HSP Gathering Retreats.  Many of you have asked that it be printed in my newsletter … so, here it is ~ a gift to you ~ with  my sincerest wish that you also have a HSP friend or connection  in your life with whom you can share a part of  life’s journey with.

1. The safety of the relationship provides us with a forum within which to fully “come out” and reveal ourselves as a highly sensitive person.

2. It provides us with validation and acknowledgment – allowing us to be seen, heard and understood.

3. It relieves pressure, tension and energy drain from not being authentically seen or heard in our daily lives.

4. It creates an avenue for fuller self-expression of our Spirit, including our emotions, imaginations, and perceptions, often leading us to wonderful (inner) places and (outer) possibilities never before revealed.

5. It provides us a place to share our vivid and often intense experiences of the world around us.

6. It focuses on our strengths, opens our heart and infuses us with a sacred innocence and joy.

7. It helps us move beyond blind faith to a feeling of “faith like prayers just heard.”

8. It can take the pressure off others, especially our non-HSP partners or friends, who may find it tiring to go the depths we naturally find energizing, nurturing and supportive.

9. It can keep us focused on what really matters and away from irrelevant details which can ultimately drain our energy.

10. It can provide us with a mirror which allows us to fully see, hear and feel our own energies which can then serve as validation and clarification for the depth of our perceptions.

This list comes from my personal experience and was co-created with my special HSP friend and  Dyad Partner, Molly.  Many of you met Molly at the Sequoia HSP Gathering Retreat in the fall of 2004 and also at the Colorado HSP Gathering in Colorado in the fall of 2007.  This picture is of a special (seasonal) monthly HSP activity:  watching the sun set and the moon rise from a favorite spot at Horsetooth Reservoir here in Ft. Collins, Colorado.

P.S.  It just dawned on me…these same top ten reasons are often experienced at the HSP Gathering Retreats !
