How to feel more empowered in a non-sensitive world
Description: 

Are you highly empathic and a deep thinker?

Do you process emotions more deeply and for longer than others seem to do?

Are you highly empathic and pick up on subtleties that others are unaware of?

Do you get affected by environmental and sensory stimuli, such as crowds, too much noise, or negativity and need to withdraw on a regular basis? 

If you do you may be an HSP. 

One in five people are born with the trait of high sensitivity. But the general lack of awareness and appreciation of sensitivity in our society leaves too many HSPs struggling in this non-sensitive world.

Based on the content of her two books, the workshop will enable HSPs to feel more empowered by understanding and embracing their trait. It offers a complete mind, body, spirit perspective about being an HSP, which includes the main indicators and a self-assessment tick-list to help you discover if you are one.

It also discusses some of the practical strategies and self-help tools that can help manage certain aspects of the trait or challenges and offers an experiential demonstration of some of them including energy protection methods, EFT (tapping) and mindset tools. The workshop also highlights the many gifts and wonderful qualities associated with the trait and how these gifts and qualities can form the foundation of your work or your life's purpose.
