The Sensitive Love Coach

Welcome! I’m Jessica Magenheimer, the Sensitive Love Coach. I empower Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) to get back in the dating driver’s seat, to approach their sensitivity with self-acceptance, compassion, and enthusiasm, and to take up the space they’re worthy of in this world! In other words: I support them in using their HSP superpowers for good! Watch this space for tips, techniques, inspiration and comfort.

All too often Highly Sensitive people have been told by others that they’re: too much Or not enough... Too sensitive Not resilient Too fragile Not patient And so on... and for many of us, this social programming (stemming from a lack of understanding of the Highly Sensitive trait, or a mismatch between family and child, or just an unhealthy environment) Becomes self-invalidation We buy in to what we’ve been told, and criticize ourselves harshly But here’s the thing: If we really take the time to tune in, to listen to that quiet voice inside that is accustomed to being squelched and silenced And to take it a step further, to acknowledge that our inner voice makes SENSE given our sensitivity, and to honor it... And even start to trust it (because truly, there is NOTHING flawed about you)... Well, that changes everything #sensitivelovecoach #highlysensitiveperson #highlysensitivepeople #hsp #lovecoach #relationshipcoach #datingcoach #showingup #trustyourself #selfattunement #selfvalidation #superpower #sensitivity #highlysensitive #sensitive #hspisthewaytobe See more

Spring Awakening It’s been a rainy winter followed by a mild spring here in SoCal (though I know it’s already a million degrees for many of you elsewhere!), and I’m loving all the greenery and fragrant flowers in full bloom. [ Spring is a time of renewal, of reopening, of writing new stories...... What stories do you tell yourself about your ability to date, to love, to be happy in a partnership? Do any of those stories need a revamp? Now is an excellent time to journal, to reflect, to take chances... To blossom, you beautiful flower, you! #sensitivelovecoach #highlysensitiveperson #highlysensitivepeople #hsp #lovecoach #relationshipcoach #datingcoach #springinswing #sensitivesuperpower #highlysensitive #sensitive #changeandgrowth #hspisthewaytobe #getbackinthedatingdriversseat #hspcoach #highlysensitivecoach See more

There must be something wrong with me because I picked a partner who treated me badly I hear variations on this all the time. Last I checked, we don’t have a crystal ball . Why would you beat yourself up for not being able to predict the future?... Don’t fall prey to outcome or hindsight bias. You didn’t know what you know until you learned it. All you can do is apply that learning moving forward, OK? And while you’re at it, give yourself a break. (If you find you’re constantly missing or ignoring red flags, that’s something to explore, and I’m happy to support you in doing that. Is this you?

I was chatting with friends this weekend about the Five Love Languages : Quality Time Words of Affirmation Physical Touch... Gifts Acts of Service What I find fascinating is that we can have preferred modes of receiving love and for giving love ... That are completely different. This can certainly complicate things in a relationship! It’s worth exploring what your love languages are, and considering how you might communicate your needs/likes to a prospective partner. It can cut down on a lot of misunderstandings and missed opportunities to convey our care for one another!

Did you know that practicing gratitude (writing 5 things you’re grateful for in a journal each day is an awesome way to do this) has all sorts of beneficial effects? It impacts you: Emotionally: decreased symptoms of depression and PTSD, better self- esteem... Relationally: allows us to appreciate others in our life, higher empathy, opens up opportunities for new connections And even... Physically: better sleep, lower blood pressure (isn’t that wild?), higher overall well-being and health So, with that in mind, what are you grateful for today? #sensitivelovecoach #highlysensitiveperson #highlysensitivepeople #hsp #lovecoach #relationshipcoach #datingcoach #showingup #youareworthy #superpower #sensitivity #highlysensitive #sensitive #hspcoach #getbackinthedatingdriversseat #attitudeofgratitude #gratitudejournal #gratitudepractice #changeandgrowth #wednesdaywisdom See more
