In this issue you will find suggestions for planning and enjoying a vacation in keeping with your sensitivity. I've already written quite differently about travel in past issues (August 2006 and Vol. 3, issue 3, 1998). I've also written about air travel (May 2006 and Vol. 6, Issue 2) Then there's the new and novel HSP Home Stay program.

You can also learn some tips to enhance your natural listening skills. I highly recommend this - it will make your close relationships even closer.

Finally, think with me about whether ALL HSPs are high sensation seekers if you include "inner sensations."

Dates to Consider:

I will be at Esalen for the weekend of May 21-23, teaching a course on The Undervalued Self. You learn some new ways of thinking and participate in structured activities to "link" with others in a closer, more skillful way. The evaluations from the first course, which was made up of about half HSPs, were very high. I think that's because there is more to learn about linking than you might think, and linking helps you value yourself more accurately. In fact, I may start guaranteeing that you will leave feeling better about yourself or your money back!

The early registration deadline for the 19th HSP Gathering Retreat on Gabriola Island, British Columbia has been extended to May 28th. It is being held at The Haven, June 11-15, 2010.

BLOG

Besides writing the Comfort Zone, I have a blog on Psychology Today you might enjoy. The subjects posted are different from those in the newsletter.

How to Make Use of more or less 200 Comfort Zone Articles about HSPs

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

It's hard to believe that I have been writing this newsletter since 1997 - 12 years. I've written about 200 articles on almost anything you can imagine, so I am often asked questions that are answered in one or more of these articles. Now you can search for answers through the search box at the top of the Comfort Zone page.
