Ep. 140: What You Need To Know About Highly Sensitive People And Alcohol

Highly Sensitive People may turn to alcohol as a tool to numb overwhelming situations or as a coping mechanism to dull strong emotions. 

Alcohol has been described as a “mute button” for highly sensitive people in a world that is often too loud. 

It’s estimated that 15 to 20 percent of the population are HSPs and 1 to 2% of the population are true empaths. An empath is a person who is highly sensitive to the feelings and emotions of those around them and may absorb those feelings as their own.

I asked Nikki Eisenhauer, an International Life Coach and Psychotherapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, Yoga and Meditation Teacher and the host of the wildly popular podcast, Emotional Badass, to share how to navigate the world as a highly sensitive person or empath without turning to alcohol.
