Differential susceptibility is a key concept in high-sensitivity research. In simple terms: The more sensitive you are, the more your environment impacts you (for better or worse). Environmental sensitivity isn't just about the physical space, it’s about how your nervous system responds to the full context including people, pressures, and the capacity to engage with your creative depths.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why HSPs experience environments more intensely
• The stories the nervous system tells and why building calm is about more than mindset
• Ways to design spaces that work with sensitivity (and why this is in ALL of our interests)
