Therapy for gifted and highly sensitive adults
If you’ve ever thought to yourself,
“If only I could be less (sensitive, emotional, weird, intense…), things would be SO much easier...”
You’re in the right place.
It’s not a walk in the park…
to live with intense emotions, heightened perception, dialed up empathy, and a mind that works differently
(even if these traits are assets sometimes!).
I know how discouraging it can be to seek depth in perpetually shallow relationships;
How depressing it feels to search for a career that pays a livable wage and actually holds your interest;
How deeply it hurts to feel out of place, especially if you’ve been shamed, punished, or judged for it.
Then top it off with the isolation of seeking professional support, only to be missed, yet again -
misunderstood, mislabeled, misdiagnosed.
Maybe your quirks are labeled pathological, you’re told you’re “fine”, or the tools that are supposed to help don’t make a damn bit of difference.
Great, another painful mismatch.
And from someone who is supposed to help!
Your doctors, friends, and family members probably mean well, and are doing the best they can with the tools and life experience they have.
It’s just that what they have doesn’t match what you need.
And that’s not your fault.
But instead of trying to change what you need (which, let’s be honest, never works out very well), let’s start working with your needs and who you already are. This is especially critical for highly sensitive and gifted individuals.
