Let’s be clear: Highly Sensitive individuals are far from weak. In fact, they possess extraordinary resilience and grit, having navigated a world that often feels misaligned with their needs. Sensitivity is not a flaw; it’s a powerful trait. Elaine Aron coined the term "High Sensitivity," but the scientific name is Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS), and its hallmark is depth of processing. Yet, many misunderstand it, associating it with fragility or negativity.

So, let’s dispel some myths:

Being Highly Sensitive does NOT mean you're constantly overwhelmed by your emotions.
It does NOT mean you are stuck in victimhood, endlessly reliving trauma.
It does NOT mean you crumble when life knocks you down. In fact, you get back up—time and time again.
It does NOT mean you can’t take a joke or that you’re overly sentimental.
It does NOT automatically mean you're an empath attuned to the living, or a sensitive attuned to spirits—being sensitive is not a curse!
Now, why do I stress this?

Because my Highly Sensitive clients:

• Are deeply moved by beauty in the world and may cry because of its intensity—but that’s not weakness, that’s depth.
• Acknowledge their pain and trauma but meet life with a wicked sense of humor. Humor is their resilience!
• Have been told they’re “too much”—too passionate, too sensitive, too intense—but they’re now ready to embrace their full, glorious expression.
• Have been knocked down by life more times than they can count but continue to create the lives they desire.
• Are highly attuned to both their inner and outer worlds. Whether empathic or not, they stand in their power and use their sensitivity to serve the world in ways only they can.

One last thing: 20% of every population is Highly Sensitive. It’s time to recognize this trait for the strength and gift it truly is.

Sensitivity is power, not a limitation.
