Being A Highly Sensitive Person

Dear Highly Sensitive Person,

As an HSP, you may often feel like there needs to be more space to express and communicate what's happening. You may be cautious about sharing because you have had some experiences where people don't have the time to listen.

As an HSP, you live in a world that values doing and thinking over being and feeling. It just happens that you can do both. You get it; you are not a talking head but a communicating human being. You need time to speak and express yourself from your rich inner world of sensing things while creatively using your insights to support the work you do in the world and for others.

Holistic therapy, along with neurofeedback or ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, can provide an opening for you. It is a chance to remember how to reconnect to yourself and return to a place where you feel calm, centered, and anchored.

You feel, notice and reflect on things deeply

Our world and your life constantly change. How you respond can come with intense emotional ups and downs. As a highly sensitive person, you may:

• Notice more than others.
• Feel and reflect on things deeply.
• Be more naturally empathetic.
• Be attuned to your surroundings, like the lights, sounds, the space of a room, and the people and pets present.
• Be aware of your commitments to your co-workers, friends, and family. And feel it's essential that you follow through with them thoroughly.

This makes you a uniquely creative and productive, thoughtful and attentive person, with a depth of understanding that others may not possess.

You want to feel centered & balanced

You want to feel in sync with yourself and anchored into the here and now. Even so, you can get overwhelmed sometimes. You may feel sand-blasted, sleepy, and mentally tired. To cope, sometimes you may binge-watch or emotionally eat or over-exercise or more.  You're still aware that you feel down or anxious, or you keep thinking about your thinking.  Sometimes you feel misunderstood or unheard, or you need a little more time to share. And sometimes you just feel like you're different.

It's important to acknowledge that being a highly sensitive person can be exhausting at times, and it's okay to feel that way.

A soft place to land

Finding a place to explore what's going on that keeps you from the people and things you yearn for may mean finding a good-fit counselor and a healing space where you feel safe.  It also means being with a counselor and mind-body therapist who is patient while sharing your details.

Experiencing holistic mind-body therapy can help you identify overwhelming patterns, leading to a greater sense of calm, peace, and self-nurturance. This therapy can guide you on a journey of self-exploration, self-worth, and self-discovery.  It's a gentle process that can help you shift into a healthier, more balanced state.

Combining holistic therapy with EEG brain training (also called neurofeedback) generally helps most people attain their goals more efficiently. That's because EEG brain training helps your nervous system return to balance, ease, and calm. Most highly sensitive people who combine neurofeedback with holistic therapy tend to notice improved energy, focus, and mood, and sometimes, better sleep, too.

Another option to support you in attaining your goals more efficiently is ketamine assisted-psychotherapy. It's holistic psychotherapy along with low dosing sessions of ketamine. It's a way to bypass the patterns of thinking that no longer serve you. It is gentle, empowering and opens up a window into cultivating changes that serve your high sensitivity.
