Therapy for Highly Sensitive Women
You've been told that you are "too sensitive," "too emotional," or that you "think too much." You'll avoid or prolong doing things or going places that cause you to feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable, such as shopping during peak busy times, crowded social events, or new experiences. You've been known to care deeply for others and can form deep bonds with friends, family, or even strangers. When there is external chaos such as a world crisis, collective trauma, or turmoil, you're not just aware of the situation, but you feel immense dread, hopelessness, helplessness, fear, or anger.
You process information deeply and are more sensitive than those around you. This can cause you to feel more stressed, overstimulated, and overwhelmed.
Being an HSP is a wonderful personality trait that can come with many challenges and concerns. I'd love to help you navigate these unique concerns and tap into the strengths of this trait, so you can manage your stress and overwhelm in a way that feels best for you.
