THERAPY FOR HIGHLY SENSITIVE WOMEN
Do people tell you that you're "too sensitive" or that you "take things too personally"? Have you been called dramatic, emotional, or told to "just get over it"? If you're a highly sensitive woman, you've probably heard these comments your entire life - and they've left you questioning whether something is wrong with you.
Here's the truth: There's nothing wrong with you. You're highly sensitive - and that's actually a strength.
You're Not "Too Much" - You're Highly Sensitive
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ME A HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON?
Being highly sensitive means your nervous system processes information more deeply than others. You notice subtleties that others miss, feel emotions intensely, and are deeply affected by your environment. This isn't a disorder or something to fix - it's a trait that affects about 20% of the population.
As a highly sensitive woman, you might experience:
-
You feel everything deeply - both joy and pain. A beautiful sunset can move you to tears, and criticism can feel devastating.
-
Loud noises, bright lights, scratchy fabrics, or strong smells can feel overwhelming and drain your energy quickly.
-
You pick up on subtle cues in conversations, sense when something is "off" in a room, and often know how others are feeling before they do.
-
You require quiet time to process experiences and recharge, especially after social interactions or stimulating environments.
-
You set high standards for yourself and can be your own harshest critic when you don't meet them.
THE HIDDEN STRUGGLES OF HIGHLY SENSITIVE WOMEN
You feel like you're constantly defending your reactions.
Friends and family may dismiss your feelings as overreactions, leaving you feeling misunderstood and alone.
You've learned to suppress your natural responses to fit in, but this emotional masking is draining and leaves you feeling disconnected from yourself.
You're exhausted from trying to "tone it down."
Your ability to sense others' emotions makes it hard to know where you end and they begin. You absorb others' stress and often say yes when you want to say no.
You struggle with boundaries.
What seems manageable to others - a busy schedule, open office environments, or social events - can leave you feeling completely drained.
You're overwhelmed by everyday life.
Years of being told you're "too sensitive" have made you question your instincts and emotional responses.
You doubt your own perceptions.
You feel guilty for needing alone time.
You require more downtime than others to recharge, but you worry that others see this as antisocial or selfish.
Hi, I'm Mary Jackson, Licensed Professional Counselor, and I understand what it's like to navigate the world as a highly sensitive woman. I've completed specialized training in working with highly sensitive people, including study of Dr. Elaine Aron's groundbreaking research.
In our work together, you'll discover that your sensitivity isn't something to manage or minimize - it's something to embrace and leverage as your superpower.
HOW I HELP HIGHLY SENSITIVE WOMEN THRIVE
I don't try to make you less sensitive. Instead, I help you understand your sensitivity as a strength and teach you practical tools to thrive with it.
I validate your experiences. Your feelings are real, valid, and important. You won't be told you're "overreacting" or need to "toughen up" in my office.
I focus on practical strategies. We work together to develop specific, actionable tools you can use immediately to manage overwhelm and protect your energy.
I understand the unique challenges you face. From sensory overload to emotional boundaries, I get it because I've worked extensively with highly sensitive women just like you.
My Approach is Different
-
Learning to see your emotional depth, intuition, and empathy as valuable assets rather than liabilities.
-
Developing the skills to protect your energy without feeling guilty or selfish. You'll learn to say no with confidence and yes with intention.
-
Practical strategies for handling sensory overload, emotional intensity, and the daily stressors that can feel magnified when you're highly sensitive.
What We’ll Work On Together
-
Replacing that inner critic with a kinder, more understanding voice. You'll learn to treat yourself with the same compassion you show others.
-
Reconnecting with and trusting your natural perceptual abilities instead of second-guessing yourself.
-
Identifying and leveraging the gifts that come with high sensitivity - your creativity, empathy, and ability to see what others miss.
You Deserve to Feel Confident in Your Sensitivity
Imagine what it would feel like to:
Walk into a room and feel confident in your ability to handle whatever emotions or energy you encounter
Set boundaries without guilt and have people respect them
Trust your intuition completely and use it as a guide in your relationships and decisions
Feel energized rather than drained by your daily activities
Embrace your emotional depth as a source of strength and connection
Stop apologizing for who you are and start celebrating it
This isn't just wishful thinking - it's absolutely possible. I've helped countless highly sensitive women transform their relationship with their sensitivity from a source of struggle to their greatest asset.
