In this week’s episode, Erica and Lauren interview Brooke Nielsen, psychotherapist and founder of the Therapeutic Center for Highly Sensitive People. She is also a writer and speaker who believes that unconditional acceptance and the right support has the power to transform us. We learn about the HSP trait which is a trait that 20% of the population have (scientific name = Sensory Processing Sensitivity).

Understanding this trait is another way to understand yourself or anyone in your life that is more sensitive so we can understand better how this is a super power and not a weakness.

We’ll talk about setting energetic boundaries, emotional processing and tons of tips and strategies for embracing the beauty of sensitivity.

We know you’re going to love this conversation!
