psychotherapy

Highly sensitive people tend to be more affected by negative life events compared to those who are not as sensitive, however, they are also more responsive to positive interventions.
With over 7 years of experience, I have found that there are certain therapies that those who are highly sensitive respond well to.
Of course, everyone is unique!
I keep this in mind as I pull from various modalities, depending on what is most helpful at the time.

Somatic Psychotherapy

This is a type of therapy that is very helpful for highly sensitive individuals. Oftentimes we will ignore the bodily sensations that our nervous system is trying to communicate to us, as they can be too overwhelming.
Using a Polyvagal approach, this therapy allows one to explore these sensations in a mindful and gentle way, strengthening the awareness and connection between mind and body, and facilitating one's natural healing process.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) &
Inner Child Work

These modalities are also helpful for highly sensitive people. Often, there are younger parts of ourselves that
have been ignored and hidden,
especially when one is trying to appear as though they are not sensitive
to others on the outside.
I use IFS along with inner child work to help clients reestablish the relationship with younger parts in a gentle and compassionate way, often leading to an increased feeling of wholeness.
  

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
(EMDR)

Sometimes there are traumatic events in our life that are difficult to let go of.
Further, those who are highly sensitive were often very misunderstood by family or peers, which may have lead to some hurtful experiences.

EMDR assists the brain and body with its natural healing process, allowing what is blocked and imbalanced to become naturally restored.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

DBT is especially helpful for mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships with others. It involves plenty of coping tools and strategies, helping one to not only accept their current experiences, but also practice positive change moving forward. 

Cognitive Behaviourial Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a behavioural therapy that works with the thoughts, perceptions, feelings, and behaviours that may keep one stuck in a pattern or negative response.

This type of therapy can be helpful for highly sensitive individuals as they tend to experience an increased depth of processing of all information. This can sometimes lead to overthinking and the holding of unhelpful thinking styles.
