Extroverts Welcome, and Introverts, Too. Special guest, Jacquelyn Strickland, LPC, is also an International Consultant on High Sensitivity colleague and a sensitive extrovert. I invited her to join us to share her expertise. I like to think of extroverting and introverting as verbs, but most of us find ourselves leaning more in one direction or the other. What are our shared and diverse experiences? How can our community support each another? Jacquelyn is the founder and director of HSP Gathering Retreats and has decades of experience in supporting highly sensitive people. We’ll have fun and learn a ton. Register here.

Working with Trauma: Healing Past Trauma and Preventing Trauma Moving Forward. Healing the past and prevention of trauma both fall into the highly sensitive person’s Five to Thrive. I often talk about the first person we have to parent being ourselves…and our brains! So we will apply the discussion of trauma in children to all of the kids in our lives: The child we were, the brain we get to live with now, and the young people we may be raising or raised the past. So much parenting required! Did you know you were signing up for this? Hey, as long as we are willing to take charge, we can work with trauma in all of these scenarios. This will not be therapy, but rather education and discussion. If you are currently working with trauma, it is absolutely critical that you have a qualified, HSP-friendly mental health provider supporting you.  Register here

Boundaries Are the Key to HSP Self-Care. Special guest, April Snow, LMFT, and creator of the Highly Sensitive Therapist Facebook community, will join us to discuss her favorite topic and Alane’s, too. Sometimes the HSP’s high empathy makes us give and give and care and care for others, maybe losing sight of our own needs. Have you ever gotten to the point where you hit a wall and discovered you went too far, ignored your own needs too long? Sometimes when that happens we feel like we have to suddenly throw up 20 foot concrete walls…or we fall apart in exhaustion and sorrow. Some place in between we have to find our healthy boundaries even though it can be uncomfortable to express our need for them to our partners, kids, workplaces, or friends. Let’s dig in and talk about the challenges and the successes. We can practice, and Alane will present her “Speaking Volumes” technique for HSPs.  Register here
