How to be a sensitive person in an insensitive world?

That is a question I grappled with over 20 years ago when I first started getting into this work, & it’s even more relevant for others today.

For starters, you must understand that there’s nothing wrong with you. There actually might be something very right about you, & the problem may instead be with the state of the world as of late.

As a sensitive person, it’s not an easy task to find our way in this new world.

And struggling through it all, without a guide or someone who can help you navigate this terrain can make matters worse.

For me, I had a deep desire to be able to find my way with this for myself. I didn’t want to hide my sensitivity in shame; quite the contrary, I aimed to be extremely confident in being sensitive.

I had teachers, coaches & mentors of all styles who helped me transform my shame about being sensitive into being proud of it.

I even had my Maori teachers physically work on me in a way to help me process & deal with the many feelings and experiences I stored in my body along the way.

The result I was looking for was the ability to be connected to ALL of my feelings, and to have the ability to express those feelings clearly. I wanted to feel confident & even proud of being a sensitive person, despite the company I found myself in.

One thing I learned & discovered along the way, was to never to put my heart in the hands of those that can’t take care of it. Just because someone is a friend or family member, does not mean that we should open our hearts to them.

A path like this was no easy task, & yet I personally didn’t feel I had a choice to make; it was a calling for me to answer, and sort out.If you find yourself in a similar position, & you long to find your own way, feel free to message me to see if I can help.
