"Connect, Protect, and Nourish: A 3 Step Method to Treat Empaths and Highly Sensitive Clients"

Do you know if you have Highly Sensitive Clients (HSC) in your therapy space? Did you know that many times Highly Sensitive People (HSP) & Empaths get misdiagnosed and pathologized by their therapists because our profession lacks knowledge about this trait? This workshop aims to bust the myths surrounding HSPs & Empaths and to educate fellow therapists to recognize, understand, and treat and support the HSP Clients & Empaths that walk through your doors. Working with sensitive souls is a gift that when understood and acknowledged can truly help your clients THRIVE. Come and learn my 3-step method: Connect, Protect, & Nourish, and other techniques to help your HSP & Empath clients live more empowered and create balance and peace in their lives.
