25: Using Nature to Recharge and Reconnect with Your Sensitive Self


Listen Later

Is it difficult to find quiet spaces to think and reflect? In this episode, I talk with Jenna Mitchell, BSW, MSW, RSW about using nature as a resource to recharge and: 

• How highly sensitive people are more connected and positively impacted by nature 

• Taking your problems to nature when you’re stuck in overthinking or overwhelm 

• Reconnecting with your creativity and intuition through nature 

• The many ways to connect with nature inside and outside, using your five senses 

• Intentionally engaging with nature to restore your mind and emotions 

• Why it’s important to advocate for more accessible outdoor spaces 

Jenna is a Registered Social Worker and Therapist in Ontario, and works in her private practice- Therapy for Sensitive Souls. She is also a highly sensitive person herself who feels this world deeply. Jenna works to help other highly sensitive humans rewrite their stories about sensitivity to shift from sensitivity as shame to sensitivity as strength. Jenna helps clients move towards building a loving and self-compassionate relationship to all parts of themselves.
