Finding a community of people who are wired like you is healing and validating since HSPs often feel isolated in traditional social settings. As a result of taking the Online HSP Course, Kathy shares how she learned that nothing is wrong with her, and how she learned to trust herself. The Group models what a functional “family” is like, and everyone has permission to show up exactly as they are. We talk about the importance of resistance, and how to work with negative thoughts when doing new things.

PODCAST HOST
Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, but is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it’s like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller. Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is neurodivergent helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion. She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren’t alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges. Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for HSPs that focus on understanding what it means to be an HSP, self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you
