Course Structure

Jen Perry and I have created a thorough assessment tool that helps us understand where you’re at with each of the core modules listed.

Every week, you will receive a video tape (and audio version) about each module (Jen and I have made special recordings for each week of the course). There are prompts included to help you start evaluating where you’re at with that topic (Where does this show up for me? When is it easy to implement this skill? When is it difficult? What do I think will/won’t happen around this, if I…?). Often, links to additional resources are included for additional support

At the beginning of every group, we do a grounding exercise we affectionately call How the hell are you? Group members have said it really helps them to land and check into their body; how they’re feeling, and to increase awareness about what they are bringing to group (anxiety, irritation, judgment, fear), and what they are needing from group.

Then we open the group up for discussion and participation. Although the focus for that week is the topic around the video and prompts that members have already received, this group is here to support each member in whatever is coming up for them.

We have used role-plays during group when a member is struggling with setting a boundary (if the member wants to do this). We provide lots of education, validation, affirmation and tools to help each member embrace their HS traits.

If you have a group of 6 people who would like to take a course at a different day/time, please let us know, and we will try and accommodate your request

I’ve had a number of therapists express interest in a specialized therapist’s/healer’s group. Again, if you can get a group of 6 together, we are happy to try and accommodate your request

What if I don’t like the course?

I get that it can be hard to make a big investment, and often HSPs really want to be SURE that this is worth it. I know I’ve wondered if I’ll fit in as an HSP. I wonder will my needs get met? What if it totally sucks and I’m out a shit-ton of money? Totally understandable!

We’ve gotten such positive feedback from participants, that we feel confident in the quality and comprehensiveness of what we’re providing.

We ask that you attend 4 full sessions (please arrive on time and stay until the end). If you feel that the course is not meeting your needs, we will refund the full amount that you paid.
