The Accelerator & Brake (HSS-HSP)
Craves stimulation, yet can't handle it — the paradox
You're the "Accelerator & Brake (HSS-HSP)" — you chase it, then it wears you out.
You light up and dive into new stimulation, then crash hard afterward because you're sensitive — the most complex type within HSP: the HSS-HSP. You may have spent your life pulled between curiosity and sensitivity, that very contradiction. Up next, we unpack it all: what's actually happening inside you, how to use it, and how to live with it without burning out.
