Lower Anxiety, Improve Wellness and Discover Your Sensitive Gifts

This interview is part of the Empaths, Sensitives & Intuitives Summit, a free online event. For more information, please visit https://evolvedempathsummit.com. This recording is a copyright of The Shift Network. All rights reserved.

I'll discuss the three steps to conscious wellness for Highly Sensitive People and Empaths. Learn about high sensitivity, understand brain differences making you more susceptible to anxiety, and how to regulate your sensitive nervous system. Live consciously, guided by your body cues and intuition, doing what's right for you, and self-care the HSP way. Spending time with other Highly Sensitive People and Empaths transforms your life, helping you to normalize your experience and see your value. In this session, you’ll:

  • Feel understood and validated in how you experience the world as a highly sensitive person (HSP)

  • Learn why HSPs need to practice a different type of self-care than most of the population, what works, and what doesn't

  • Understand your incredible gifts that come with sensitivity and how you are needed in the world
