For a long time now, you’ve known that you’re “different” from other people. You feel like you constantly “overthink” everything, can become easily overwhelmed, and you hate being rushed into big decisions or complex situations with lots of variables. You need extra downtime and try to avoid having a packed schedule when possible. Otherwise, you know you’re just going to pay for it later when you’re completely exhausted. You feel guilty making up another excuse about why you’re turning down that invite to go out with friends because it’s been a long week and you secretly just want to stay home and watch Netflix by yourself. You’ve wondered if something is wrong with you because everyone else seemingly juggles people, places, and events with zero problems, and you can’t relate to this way of being at all.

And by the same token, you’ve probably been described as a “good listener,” and compassion and empathy are virtues that you deeply value. You’re also really good at reading the body language of other people and noticing details that others might overlook. You will obsess over it for days if you think you’ve hurt someone’s feelings or disappointed them. Doing your best at everything, sometimes to the point of perfection, feels important to you. And you ponder the state of the world, humanity, and the meaning of life probably more than others do.

Maybe you recently stumbled across Dr. Elaine Aron’s work on The Highly Sensitive Person, or maybe this is the first time you’re hearing about this concept (read more here).  Either way, you’d love to be able to move through the world unapologetically at your own pace. You imagine what it would be like to be comfortable with yourself, rather than always feeling like you need to be the way other people think you should. You’re tired of agreeing to things you don’t actually want to do, and your “people-pleasing” tendencies keep getting in the way of your happiness. You want to better understand yourself and feel more in control of your headspace, but you have no idea where to begin.

As someone who identifies as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and is also trained in working with other humans who identify as HSPs, I can help you make sense of these things that make you wonderfully unique. We will work together to get you to a place where you can become more attuned at recognizing and honoring your needs, conserving your emotional energy, and setting limits when the “world becomes too much.” Together, we will embrace both your strengths as an HSP and also work to navigate around the challenges, too. Call my office at (678) 251-9235 for a 20-minute consultation at no charge to you. I would love to help you get started today!
