Reading some children's books written in both Spanish and English to expand exposure and comprehension.
This story is both hopeful and sad. Great allegory, especially for kids.

Per my therapist's suggestion, I read this book. When she's right, she's right. This book was very educational and insightful. At times, I felt like I fit the textbook description of a HSP. It has really helped call out unhealthy habits (in a constructive way) and help me become more self-aware of how to guard myself, set healthy boundaries, and hopefully one day, love fully and securely.
