Highly Sensitive People & Empaths

It is estimated that as much as twenty percent of the population is considered “highly sensitive.” Yet, the world we live in is designed and catered to the other eighty percent. This can make it difficult to operate day to day for sensitive folks. Romantic relationships, work environments, and physical health are just a few aspects of life that feel the impact of high sensitivity. Sensitive people have a necessary and important contribution to the world, given they are deep feelers, thoughtful, creative, and so much more. But given the fast pace of the modern world, they can easily feel overstimulated and burned out. Individual therapy with a focus on high sensitivity can help with finding more balance and joy as a sensitive person.
