The HSP Tools Newsletter on August 11, 2025

Hello there!

If someone asked you to recommend free platforms to learn more about high sensitivity, would you know where to begin?

Blogs and websites that focus on the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) trait are always a good resource for someone seeking immediate information.

After all, many Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) credit Dr. Elaine N. Aron’s website for finally feeling seen and understanding that being “too sensitive” or “too emotional” was never a flaw, but a sign of possessing one of the most incredible temperament traits in today’s world.

But what happens when you need to go deeper into your thriving journey and address specific issues that Dr. Aron’s website doesn’t cover?

What happens when you want to understand your sensitive child, teen, partner or friend and aren’t ready or don’t have the budget to consult a professional?

In this updated guide to 37 HSP blogs and websites, we curate and summarize a list of online platforms where you can go to find connection, understanding, and practical help in different parts of your life.

We’ve categorized the list based on the various topics and audiences a platform focuses on, and highlighted exactly the kind of assistance you’ll find on each site.

So, whether you need guidance on starting or growing a business or handling meltdowns from your child or grandchild, this list has something for you and your loved ones.

Here are the main categories as they appear in the guide:

Research-Focused HSP Blogs & Websites
HSP Coaching & Training–Focused
Business-Focused
Advice-Focused
Faith-Focused
Empath-Focused
Community-Focused
Resource-Focused

The guide is free to read and share, but if you prefer a cute offline copy to take with you or share with a loved one, we’ve created a downloadable option.

The download is only $5, and subscribers of the HSP Tools newsletter get 20% off all our guides, ebooks and listing packages.

So, it’s technically you buying me a cup of cinnamon tea for this cold weather 🙂 (yes, it’s still chilly on this side of the world).
