Are you a Highly Sensitive Person?

Highly Sensitive People (HSP) comprise 20% of the human and animal population. Seventy percent of HSPs are introverts. (Research by Dr. Elaine Aron)

Eighty percent of the population is non-highly sensitive. About 70% of the population is extroverted.

No wonder a whole lot of people don’t understand highly sensitive introverts.

Many times we compare ourselves to others and try to make ourselves be like them so we fit in.

Fitting in – instead of being cherished for who you are – is an unfulfilling way to live.

Many Highly Sensitive People (HSP) feel stressed and anxious because we feel different. We ARE different.

At the beginning of the Hero’s Journey to the Authentic Self, we don’t know why we are so different or what to do about it.

Have you ever felt judged by people who didn’t understand you? It stings, doesn’t it?

I promise you this: It feels comforting to be understood instead of judged. That’s what you’ll find here.

This is a grace-filled Christian path that accepts people of all faiths who advocate loving God and each other.

My favorite quote from The Velveteen Rabbit:

“You can’t be ugly except to those who don’t understand you.”

 

This is a warm, accepting group with a great degree of connection where I feel supported by our similar ways of thinking and believing.  I learn from listening to the other members, and from Benita coaching others, even when I was not coached myself.  I have been able to be open and honest because the love and grace in the group enabled me to be vulnerable without fear of rejection or judgment. I value Benita’s leadership which recognizes that our spirits and the Holy Spirit help us on our journey.  ~Anonymous

Who’s Invited

Highly Sensitive People from around the globe will come together to share with other like-hearted women in this group. You’ll receive much-needed emotional support and affirmation for being your beautiful sensitive self.

.

Just imagine being part of a group where you can be yourself, share what is really going on for you, and gain confidence in the process. Is this actually possible? Trust me, it is! As a highly sensitive introvert myself, this kind of sharing is usually scary. However, I quickly discovered I was not alone. My thought patterns and emotions are common in the group. Every time we meet, we relate to each other’s stories. Together we share ideas for taking creative ownership to find the best solutions for our concerns while Benita offers expert guidance. She brings techniques for us to ponder and use in our lives as we see fit. The best part is that you get all the benefits whether you are being coached by Benita or watching another participant being coached. It is remarkable how much you can learn from others’ experiences and apply them to your own life. For the first time in my life, I feel heard, understood and have a true sense of belonging. ~C. M.

Nurturing Tools for Deep, Gentle Healing

  • Brainspotting: To gently release deeply stored emotional blocks.
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): To quiet your inner critic and embrace self-compassion.
  • Polyvagal Theory: To calm your nervous system and prevent overwhelm.
  • Attachment Theory: To heal your inner child and build secure relationships.
  • Mindfulness & Meditation: To cultivate presence and steady your daily energy.

How the Group Works

We actively co-create our environment together. Before each session, you will email me your personal coaching requests so I can design the evening’s flow to match your immediate needs.
To ensure everyone receives deep personal attention, I intentionally limit our group size to a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 women.

.

What to Expect in a Session

Following a brief check-in and an opening prayer, our time unfolds organically in any of the following ways:
  • Co-Created Focus: We deep-dive into a specific topic with a brief presentation, followed by open Q&A and group discussion.
  • Organic Connection: A spacious session filled with fluid group interaction, allowing everyone to speak and listen as desired.
  • The “Love Seat”: One or two members volunteer for live coaching with me, supported by gentle, loving feedback from the circle.
  • Guided Meditations: Experiencing grounding, nervous system regulation, and deep spiritual insight together.
  • Study Buddies: Connecting with a designated partner between sessions for ongoing support, friendship, and accountability.

This group is a breath of fresh air in a world where I often don’t feel like I live in the same atmosphere as others. Through Benita’s guidance and the support of the group, I can put feelings into words that are often just on the periphery of conscious awareness. I’m able to better understand myself and make a change if needed. I love hanging out with deeply connected friends in our group. ~C.V.
