We all possess a natural ability to self-regulate our emotions. For example: after a car accident, or a relationship break up there may be a period of heightened emotions. It may seem like the experience 'will never end'. Yet, eventually the emotional experience of the trauma naturally resolves itself; one day we find ourselves driving without a second thought, or madly in love with another person. However, for some of us, this natural ability may become 'blocked'. And, for many individuals, t …

What is a philosovert you ask ? It's a person who on one hand lives on the more introverted side but on the other still loves to discuss all kinds of topics with other folks. I have found that introverts more often than not have strong opinions about stuff but don't necessarily share them because they feel overwhelmed by "extrovies". I personally have a hard time discussing boring things like sports or cars since I simply cannot contribute anything. Yes, I'm that guy who brings up that one topic …

If you are reading this page, you probably already know what a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is, and you probably are one. "HSP" is a concept explained by Dr. Elaine Aron in her 1996 book "The Highly Sensitive Person." If you identify as a Myers-Briggs INFJ, INFP, or ISFP, an empath, an Indigo, or an "intuitive" there's a very good chance you're also an HSP. If you'd like to learn more, we highly recommend that you visit Elaine Aron's web site and take her sensitivity self-test: http://www.hspe …

You've mastered the art of solitude, and you're your your own best friend, maybe you're painfully shy. But you crave conversation, you'd like to share experiences, meet other people of like minds (or even unlike minds) who are articulate, sensitive and civilized. You have many interests and don't want to do the same thing all the time. These meetups will be... eclectic. Might be a museum one time, a movie the next. A walk, a factory tour, a county fair, a lecture, a concert, a wine tasting, a ho …
