Ebb and Flow for Highly Sensitive People
You may or may not know that, in addition to running Highly Sensitive Parenthood, I also work as a therapist. Several years ago, I completed an intensive training in nature-based therapy, a.k.a. Ecotherapy. One of the most profound aspects of Ecotherapy, for me, is the symbols and lessons that nature offers to us humans. I live in San Diego, and occasionally meet clients at the beach for therapy sessions. Sometimes, we simply enjoy watching the waves crest and recede, noticing how the shoreline shifts as the tides ebb and flow.
Our lives, and our energies, also follow this universal pattern of ebb and flow; intensity and calm both have their place in the cycle of life. This past year has been a more intense season for me as I have navigated launching Highly Sensitive Parenthood, creating two video courses, and crafting weekly blogs, videos, and podcasts for HSP parents and kids. All of this has been on top of maintaining my therapy practice, and of course, taking care of myself and my family!
It has been great fun, and I’ve also come to recognize that my energy is ebbing (for now) around creating regular content for Highly Sensitive Parenthood. I’ll certainly still be around here and there - and if you’re not already subscribed to my newsletter or following me on Instagram, I’ll be updating those periodically with new content and reflections. The weekly newsletters and blogs, however, will be put on pause for now, as I take a bit of time to relax, replenish, and “ebb” - just as I encourage all HSP parents to do when the time is right.
The great news is, my supportive resources for Highly Sensitive Parents and Children are not going anywhere! If you’re looking for more support for you as an HSP parent, or guidance around parenting your HSP child, I have you covered:
My Highly Sensitive Parenthood Toolkit is perfect for parents just starting to explore how being an HSP impacts their experience of parenthood.
My Highly Sensitive Parenthood Course offers a deeper dive into what it means to be an HSP parent and how you can celebrate the gifts of sensitivity while managing the challenges with grace and confidence.
My Blog Archive and Podcast continue to be free and available to you!
For parents of HSP kids, my “Supporting Your Highly Sensitive Child” Course offers information about the HSP trait, plus plenty of practical tools and resources for parents and kids.
Lastly, if you’re looking for more personalized support around being a Highly Sensitive Parent, my Nourish Coaching Package might be a good fit for you!
Thank you for continuing on this journey with me at Highly Sensitive Parenthood! I look forward to connecting with you in ways both new and old as we both ebb and flow through parenthood together.
