You’re Not Overreacting—You’re Highly Attuned
Being deeply affected doesn’t mean you’re broken. This post helps reframe “overreacting” as a sign of deep attunement—and guides you in discerning what your emotions are trying to teach you.

You’re Not Overreacting—You’re Highly Attuned
By Jessica Hicks, Truth Love and Connection
Have you ever been told you’re overreacting when something deeply affected you? Have you felt embarrassed by your emotional responses or ashamed of how much you care? These are common experiences for sensitive people—but they come from a misunderstanding.
You are not overreacting. You are highly attuned.
Sensitivity is often mistaken for fragility, but it’s actually a form of responsiveness. You sense things others don’t. You feel the energy in a room. You notice microexpressions, tonal shifts, and emotional currents. These are not overreactions—they are signs of attunement.
Learning to interpret and honor your emotional responses is part of your healing. Instead of shrinking or apologizing, start asking: What is this feeling trying to tell me? What deeper wisdom is here?
Your emotional world is a compass—not a flaw. When you begin to trust it, you step into the fullness of your sensitivity with strength and sovereignty.
Let your emotions become your guides. The Navigating Sensitivity Mastery Program will help you decode your emotional landscape and access your deepest wisdom. Try our “Embodied Success” or “Energy Alignment” guided meditations to center yourself in clarity, strength, and emotional attunement.
