Therapy for Highly Sensitive People
Welcome to all who have been labeled "too sensitive," or "too emotional" or "too needy." We see you and really value who you are in this world! We know that this world doesn't always feel kind to those of us who have highly sensitive traits. In fact, your sensitivity may have been talked about as if it is a liability. We think this couldn't be further from the truth! We believe that high sensitivity can be a very valuable trait, especially when the person holding that trait has been empowered to create a life that allows them to thrive!
When we are talking about being highly sensitive, we are referring to a temperament trait that exists in 15-20% of the population, split evenly between men and women. This trait generally causes a person to have a strong awareness of subtleties in stimuli and gives them the potential to become overwhelmed by too much stimuli (Aron & Aron, 1997). High sensitivity affects all areas of life and often expresses itself in these ways:
When supporting HSP clients, we work to understand how these expressions look in their life, what their impact has been and how it has affected their work, relationships and sense of self. Often times, HSP clients benefit from establishing a lifestyle that caters to their sensory sensitivities and allows for appropriate expression of their rich internal life. We can help you explore these themes in your own life, setting up boundaries and expectations with loved ones and empowering you to develop a life in which you thrive!
