Therapy as sensitive as you are.
Holistic therapy for highly-sensitive people, with Amy Sedgwick.
The world is not designed for highly sensitive people.
Do you spend much or all of the time feeling overwhelmed and over-stimulated? If so, you are not alone. Research suggests that roughly 15-20% of the population is highly sensitive. Highly Sensitive People (HSP) tend to process information more thoroughly than others, which can be a survival advantage but also lead to feeling overwhelmed. They also tend to be empathic, easily overstimulated by noise and smell, attuned to subtle environmental cues, and require more “downtime” than other people. If this sounds like you, you have come to the right place.
Hi. My name is Amy.
I am a highly sensitive person who has put my unique traits to use as a therapist working with other highly sensitive people. After four decades of navigating my own challenges with intense emotions, hyper-empathy, and sensory sensitivity, I have learned a lot about how to function in the world as a highly sensitive person. I want to help you embrace these traits too, and transform them from a liability into an asset.
Therapeutic
Approach
Using the principles of Dynamic Emotional Integration®, I will teach you to work with your emotions rather than against them. Using gentle boundary-setting techniques, you will learn to control the flow of sensory input to reduce feelings of being overwhelmed while communicating your needs to others. Next, we will work together to set up strategies to improve focus and prioritization while helping you move toward the life you desire for yourself. At some point along the way, we may explore strategies to address past trauma — together or through an appropriate referral. Finally, when you feel grounded, have boundaries in place, and feel more resilient, I will help you harness your intuition and sensitivity in a way that empowers you to achieve your highest purpose.
In-person and remote options
I primarily work virtually with clients across Canada. However, those who live in Antigonish County, Nova Scotia, are invited to have in-person appointments at FireLoch Retreat Centre. From time-to-time I offer support at Ketamine retreats.
