Activate the Power of Your Emotional Strength With Melissa Jean, MSW
This is our 26th event from my Sensitive Empowerment community! I have uploaded the audio for you. If you want to watch the video, it is available, along with all my video events in my community I hope you can join us! https://www.sensitive-empowerment.com/.
One of the major aspects of inheriting the Sensory Processing Sensitivity trait is Emotional Responsivity/Empathy. Empathy is a beautiful quality to have, the ability to feel deeply and connect intimately with others but it can also be challenging with the wide range of emotions and thoughts. Many have developed a tendency to hide their emotions or even apologize for expressing them.
Highly Sensitive People are typically kind-hearted, conscientious, caring people, but when it comes to being Emotionally Responsive, it can cause overwhelm with a host of negative thoughts and bodily sensations that might linger. This can create gaps in connections with others who we value. The key element of the trait, a depth of processing, plays a part in this delay of recovery. That's where the advancements offered through Positive Psychology, Neuroscience and Quantum Physics comes in, coupled with my own unique journey of awakening. As Highly Sensitive People, we have superpowers we can tap into, once we understand how.
In this presentation, we will cover:
-The importance of honoring all emotions signaling important information.
-Why we need to create space for a daily practice that re-centers us.
-The foundational teaching practice I call Take a break & Breathe Love.
-What you need to know about the trait that qualifies it as a superpower.
-How to use your trait to activate this power of emotional strength and invite more joy.
I look forward to connecting with you.
