Highly Sensitive: Embracing the Gifts and Challenges For Yourself, Your Clients, or Your Children

Highly sensitive people make up 20% of the population, and are born with a more finely attuned nervous system. They may have multiple sensory sensitivities, experience emotions and energy very deeply, and have a heightened depth and speed in processing information and in how they experience and take in the world.

High sensitivity brings many wonderful strengths and can also lead to overwhelm, overstimulation, anxiety and other challenges. Many who are highly sensitive have spent their lifetimes feeling “different,” alone or misunderstood. Understanding and embracing this trait is profoundly healing for our clients, our children, and ourselves.

In this program, you’ll explore practical strategies for navigating both the challenges and gifts of high sensitivity and learn how to apply these insights in your practice and personal life. You’ll also explore current research on how the highly sensitive brain and nervous system process information, emotions, and sensory experiences.
