This story is written by a client who is a highly sensitive introvert. After suffering for five years from a severe, agonizing facial nerve condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia, this client tried every traditional medical drug with no relief. Through gentle spiritual counseling, she discovered how deep emotional stress and a pattern of extreme people-pleasing were physically locking her jaw and triggering the pain. By learning somatic relaxation, healing family of origin wounds, and boundary-setting skills, her excruciating pain was almost entirely gone within a single month.
For many high-achieving, highly sensitive women (HSPs) who are respected business leaders, managing a high-pressure career can hide an underlying battle with emotional emptiness and chronic physical distress. Sally (a pseudonym), a highly capable corporate executive, found that traditional talk therapy failed to reach the core of her relationship difficulties and underlying anxieties. Through somatic breathwork at a HSP Retreat, she bypassed her logical defenses to access unconscious memories from a forced abortion and childhood medical intervention. Discover how integrating a body-based approach allowed her to process childhood surgery trauma and fully reclaim her emotional resilience. Read more

Like most highly sensitive people who are introverts, I find peace in the beauty of nature. But for a long time, I was so busy being successful in Atlanta that I didn’t know I loved nature so much.
