Featured Episode
43 HSE Coping Mechanisms
Do you allow your HSE Coping Mechanism to take control of your business … and even your life? As HSE’s, our Coping Mechanisms can change our outlooks and diminish our efforts, and potentially even destroy our businesses. Listen in to learn which HSE Coping Mechanism you default to and how to keep it from affecting your income, relationships, health and overall well being.
“The way that the super-ego plays out for pushers is anger turned outwards, and for hiders, it takes anger and implodes it.” – Heather Dominick
Show Notes:
- The different kinds of HSE Coping Mechanisms
- How different HSE’s use these Coping Mechanisms
- Where the super-ego comes in, and how it gets our attention
- The ways that the super-ego preys upon our weaknesses
- Why super-ego incidents happen to HSE’s
- Why all of these defenses exist within us
- What it takes for HSE’s to move past these challenges
“The knowing will come with the doing, but that requires you to be willing to not be perfect.” – Heather Dominick

Business Miracles Podcast Host
And Founder of A Course in Business Miracles
I’m Mentor Heather Dominick, founder of A Course In Business Miracles. Since 2010, I’ve been training highly sensitive entrepreneurs and leaders to do things differently by working less, making more of a social impact and a higher income.
I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from being highly sensitive and a person who has experienced an immense amount of loss – including the the death of my mother when I was 14, and starting my business in the midst of personal bankruptcy in 2003 – to being the consistent steward of a 7-figure mission, and poured it into the comprehensive design of the Highly Sensitive Leadership Training Program for Entrepreneurs so you have everything you need to learn how to excel in your business and life.
I hope you will both enjoy and profit from this podcast.

196 Assumption of Positive Intent in Business Relationships
Each of us highly sensitives has our own set of beliefs, perspectives, and experiences that shape how we see everything, including interactions with other people. It can be all too common for us to make quick assumptions and react when someone says or does something we perceive to be intentionally mean or hurtful, especially if it triggers an automatic trauma response. This reaction (or maybe even over-reaction) is due to our assumption of poor intent. In situations like this, an untrained HSP will very likely overreact in some way, maybe lashing out or shutting down as a way to protect and attempt to keep safe. However, trained HSPs can choose to master the skill of assuming positive intent and avoid falling into this trap.
“We are intentionally engaging in retraining the nervous system and its habitual tendencies; habitual tendencies just born from years of being othered, being misunderstood, and again, feeling like we need to protect ourselves and create a sense of safety in the midst of being only 20% while the rest of the world is of the other 80%.” - Heather Dominick.
195 Shift Unhelpful HSP Patterns
In this episode I identify the four different HSP types for you. I also share in detail the strengths and the unhelpful shadow energy drain for each type. Through listening to the different characteristics that make up each type, you will be able to identify which type, or likely a combination of more than one type, most resonates with you. Armed with this knowledge you can use it to uncover your own unhelpful HSP patterns and explore alternatives to enhance your dominant HSP strengths in order to be more creative and productive and then therefore more profitable and impactful in business and leadership.
“It is helpful to be able to explore the HSP types all to support you in identifying the shadow impact on your energy so that you can shift the unhelpful HSP pattern as part of your HSP type in order to be able to enhance your dominant HSP strengths so that you can be more creative and productive and then therefore more profitable.” - Heather Dominick.
194 The HSP Business Power of Both/And
A common cognitive distortion that HSPs fall prey to is all or nothing thinking, which causes you to see the world more negatively than it really is, and is linked to anxiety, depression, and even PTSD. As highly sensitives in business and leadership, it is important to engage in the retraining of your nervous system and develop high functioning skills based on your HSP strengths so you can grow resilience, alleviate anxiety and move forward towards your desires and dreams in spite of any chaos or disruption that is happening around you. All so you are able to walk through and lead the way for yourself, your family and friends, your team, and your clients.
"It's not wrong to have either/or thinking. It's simply a choice of retraining the instinctual reaction by exploring yes, and with flipping the switch, you instead acknowledge the initial either/or." - Heather Dominick.

Schedule a Clarity Call.
If you are ready to truly learn how to create solid, sustainable financial success as a highly sensitive entrepreneur my high mentor recommendation is to schedule a clarity call with a Business Miracles Enrollment Coach. You’ll get the opportunity to talk to someone who just really “gets you”, understands your neurosensitivity and doesn’t try to shame you for the different way you process the world. This is a complimentary call.
