Our guide to the highly sensitive person, or HSP, is ChaNan Bonser a therapist and healer, and a teacher and trainer based in Mid Wales. She is a highly sensitive person, and for many years has worked with sensitivity within her client base. She recently developed an online course Self Care for Sensitives, helping folk who are highly sensitive to become more robust and resilient, and to learn how to harness their sensitivity as a super power.
We talk about:
- What does it mean to be a highly sensitive person
- What happens in the energy of a highly sensitive person
- Micro dosing and expanded states
- Energy states and how to manage your energy
- Perimenopause and high sensitivity
- How to care for yourself
- Practical tips to keep yourself well
- The gifts of being highly sensitive
- Great tips for healers and therapists
