Are You a Highly Sensitive Parent? Here’s What You Need to Know

Parenting is tough, but if you often feel overwhelmed by the noise, chaos, and emotions of raising kids, you might be a highly sensitive person (HSP). Highly sensitive parents process emotions deeply, feel overstimulated more easily, and can struggle to manage their energy while supporting their children. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone!

At Teen Savvy Coaching, we just released a powerful episode of Parenting Shrink Wrapped, where we dive into this topic with Ruth Milsten, LCSW-C—a somatic therapist and yoga teacher who specializes in working with highly sensitive parents. In this episode, Ruth shares expert insights and practical strategies to help you thrive as a parent while embracing your sensitivity as a strength.

What You’ll Learn:

✔ How to identify if you’re a highly sensitive parent ✔ The connection between nervous system regulation and parenting stress ✔ Practical tools for managing overwhelm and overstimulation ✔ Why being highly sensitive can be a superpower in parenting

Why This Matters

Many HSP parents experience self-doubt, exhaustion, and even burnout, feeling like they “should” be handling things better. Understanding how your nervous system responds and learning ways to regulate it can make a world of difference—not just for you, but for your children, too.
