I’m a High Sensory Leader and Spiritual Connection Coach, and I work exclusively with High Sensory People or HSPs. I discovered I was an HSP more than a decade ago, and I’ve been involved with 12 step recovery from addiction for over 20 years. I now have 13 years of continuous sobriety. I have a Degree in Psychology and an MPhil from the University of Cambridge. I also co-host the High Sensory People Podcast with Elisha May.
High Sensory People have high levels of intuition and empathy, as well as other powerful abilities, due to a developed central nervous system which processes sensory data at a deeper level. The high sensory trait can be challenging before we understand and nurture it. We can become easily overwhelmed and exhausted, we may pick up on and absorb other people’s emotions and be more susceptible to experiencing trauma from the events around us. We may have tried to hide who we really are because we felt different from others. It is vital that we learn to value and take care of ourselves so that the many benefits and gifts of the trait can be freely expressed.
For high sensory people in 12 step recovery, a number of challenges can occur before we integrate our High Sensory nature into our day to day recovery practices. These include:
– Feeling disconnected from ourselves and others.
– Feeling demotivated and exhausted.
– Feeling as though the 12 step program isn’t working for us like it does for other people.
– Feeling as though we must be doing something wrong even though we are trying really hard.
However, when we learn to harness the HSP trait effectively, it can become our greatest strength and source of power!
I provide one-to-one coaching and group facilitation to support high sensory people to explore and reveal their true nature and value, claim their unique high sensory gifts and live in joyful integrity as their most authentic selves. For high sensory people in 12 step recovery, I support the alignment and integration of these two vital sides of themselves, so they can embrace who they really are and shine brightly in the world.
