Energetic Healing Can Help Highly Sensitive People Feel More Comfortable In The World

Energic healing can make it possible for highly sensitive people to feel more comfortable in the world.

Over the years, I have worked with many clients who have Sensory-Processing Sensitivity. According to Elaine Aron, SPS  is found in 15 to 20% of the population. She began researching high sensitivity in 1991 and has written many books on the subject.

Highly Sensitive People are often overwhelmed when in large groups of people, agitated by loud noises, and find themselves continually aware of other people’s emotions.

Often these clients feel bad about themselves, how they never fit in as a child and were labeled antisocial. They may have been told that they were too emotional. When they come to their first healing session, they talk about feeling like something is wrong with them, instead of understanding that they have a gift.

Experiencing their body in a calm, deeply relaxed state begins to rebalance their nervous system. So many of my clients have learned to self-regulate their energy and navigate their lives with more joy… and the world needs more joy.

Even one healing can make a huge difference.

Sensitive – The Untold Story: A Documentary on the Highly Sensitive Person

In 1991 Psychologist Dr. Elaine Aron wrote a book called The Highly Sensitive Person based on her discovery of the innate trait of high sensitivity. High sensitivity is not a disorder or condition, and there is now much more substantial research on the subject that ranges from brain studies to genetic analysis.

The Highly Sensitive Person often grows up being labeled “too timid,” and “too sensitive.” As children, they are prone to cry more easily because they have more empathy than their peers. They may also have frequent meltdowns and tantrums from being overwhelmed by daily life. They tend to be very creative, have vibrant dreams, and require more quiet time alone. Highly Sensitive Alanis Morissette states in the film that as a child, she felt “alone in a world where she was misperceived, and misunderstood.”

This temperate trait is found equally in both men and women and one out of five people. Dr. Aron discovered that Biologists also found this sensitivity trait in at least 100 animal species for survival advantages. In the wild, having a few highly sensitive animals in your pack in a dangerous environment can be lifesaving for the whole animal herd.

Are you a highly sensitive person? Check out this movie – Sensitive – The Untold Story – based on Dr. Elaine Aron’s book and featuring Alanis Morissette. I’m not promoting Amazon, but I did watch it for free on Amazon Prime.

“[Sensitive-The Untold Story] covers such a dense amount of information, and such a wide range of how and where this trait shows up…all done in a way that is very clear, and intelligent and touching. Bless you for making this film. It is an honor to have been a part of it, and to be part of this generous outreach to so many HSP’s and their loved ones. Such a major contribution to the world. Congratulations on a truly stunning documentary…. to you and your whole team. Alanis.” -Alanis Morissette

As an energetic healer, I found this documentary fascinating, and it has opened me up to new ideas about how to be a more effective practitioner. I realize many of my clients might be HSPs, and energy work is so calming for overstimulated nervous systems.
