In this episode, I speak with Jole Berlage-Buccellati about the importance of exploring the spectrum and diversity of experience found within the Highly Sensitive Person. We discuss the connection between HSP and trauma, HSP and being a change-marker and how HSPs are often high-potential individuals. Jole Berlage-Buccellati's path led her from two degrees in science (biology/anthropology) and a minor in music, to a certification as a Pilates trainer with Alan Herdman. Years of training in Karate and Modern Dance taught her about the organized flow of life energy and the focused mind approach inherent in both. A master’s degree in music therapy allowed me to fuse these various threads into an integral and innovative approach to support highly-sensitives. Certifications as an Energy Codes Facilitator (Dr. Sue Morter) and in Embodied Processing deepened her understanding of the human energy system and qualified her to work with trauma. A few years ago, she created Qi- Pilates to support her clients in reconnecting with their bodies in a deep way.  Jole Berlage-Buccellati's Website: https://integralcoreproject.com/Support the showAbout the Host: Jules De Vitto is a transpersonal coach, trainer and experienced educator.

We also explore the purpose and potential limitations of using labels and diagnosis.
