If you answered yes to a majority of the items above, you may be a highly sensitive person. Around 20% of the population have this trait. That's 1 in 5 people! A highly sensitive person (HSP) was born neurodivergent (our brains work differently), having a heightened response to physical, emotional, and/or social stimuli. Simply put, our central nervous systems are extra sensitive to our environment. 

HSPs often feel like they don't fit in with the rest of society—that they are flawed and alone. Neither of those things are true. Since Mettā attracts highly sensitive people as clients, I thought offering group sessions for sensitive people, to grow a sensitive community, would be a great idea. Come and learn more about this trait (weaknesses and strengths), support each other, and collaborate on how to navigate this ever increasingly harsh world.

Some topics we will cover:
  • emotional overwhelm
  • boundaries
  • work
  • relationships
  • controlling negative energy
  • self-care
  • narcissists & energy vampires
  • insomnia & exhaustion
  • ​imposter syndrome
  • perfectionism
  • ​empathy/empath

These sessions will be held on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 6:30pm. They will evolve as we go, and will vary as much as the people that attend. Kindness and a calm, safe space are mandatory for these sessions. We are highly sensitive people, after all. Registration must be done in person. Please call to schedule a time to come in for the registration consultation.

relax with us.
