Introversion
A personality style that is characterized by a preference for the inner life of the mind over
the outer world of other people. Introverts gain energy from reflection and tend to lose
energy in social gatherings.
Rather than being shy or antisocial, introverts often thrive in quiet environments that allow for deep thinking, creativity, and meaningful connection. They may prefer one-on-one conversations over group events and often need downtime to recharge after social interaction.
When Introversion Feels Misunderstood
In a culture that often rewards extroversion—being outgoing, fast-paced, and constantly connected—introverts can feel overlooked, overstimulated, or pressured to be someone they’re not. This can lead to self-doubt, fatigue, or difficulty asserting personal needs and boundaries.
Supporting the Introverted Client
Therapy can offer introverts a space where their thoughtful, observant nature is not only welcomed but celebrated. Together, we can explore how to:
- Navigate overstimulation and social fatigue
- Build confidence in authentic self-expression
- Develop healthy boundaries in relationships
- Embrace the gifts of introspection and depth
- Create a lifestyle that aligns with your natural rhythm
Honoring your introversion is not about changing who you are—it's about understanding yourself more deeply and living in a way that supports your energy, values, and well-being.
