Introverted intuitives, empaths and many other highly sensitive folks have blind spots that make them susceptible to self-neglect, abuse, burnout and overwhelm. These are the unconscious ways of being that I see happening in my clients and this is what I know very well from my past experience.

This knowledge is not to be found in MBTI typology books, but comes from my experience working with mindbody systems specifically with Highly Sensitive people.

In this 2-part episode I help you identify these things and share a bit of the root causes. Make sure to follow along to the next part where i will be talking about the practical ways to work with those imprints.

As an INFJ I've had times of being completely overwhelmed by humanitarian and ecological crisis. Many idealists, empaths and highly sensitive people share this pain. Today I share some insights that are really helpful about it and completely changed how I approach this tendency.

When you understand the cycles of creativity in respect to your life you can see yourself as a part of nature, which is what you are. This new paradigm brings peace in knowing that it's perfectly healthy to feel that way, and empowerment through knowing what follows.

All highly sensitive and especially those with introverted intuition (my lovely INF folks, I'm waving at you!) have a tough time processing all changes in their life.

Not just the negative changes can throw them off but also the positive, so called "happy" changes can become a big hurdle.

When you understand the involvement of the mindbody factor you can see how this may be affecting you and making you prone to burnout or other unpleasant effects, so tricky to bounce back from.

I’m not attached to things but there are a few books I regret reselling. One of them was titled “The Invisible Child” by Tove Jansson. It was a story about a child who ceased to appear as a result of abuse, neglect and not being loved. What was left was a dress and a bow. I still have a tote bag with that picture.

Many INFJ, INFP, and Highly sensitive people have that experience of not feeling seen. By their family members, by friends, by co-workers and bosses. Even by potential clients and their audience.

Do you sometimes feel that way?

Maybe your opinions are not valued, maybe your partner doesn’t listen to or look at you when you share something important. Your contribution is not being acknowledged. Or something you’re expressing is not finding the right soil to nourish. In today’s video I talk about many reasons why sensitive people and introverted, intuitive folks especially might struggle with that feeling.

The reasons why are important, because they do point to the root causes of this wounding. What I wanted to do as well was to offer a few journaling prompts that can help you create small shifts in awareness that can guide a change in energy and behaviour. This, in turn, can help become more defined.

Today I talk about the energy behind that and explain various reasons the introverted intuitive feelers experience so much pain and wounding around this theme. It's important to know that these energetic imprints live very deep inside of a person so it's critical to work on the felt sense experience that can change these patterns.

With some consistency and the paradigm shifts I offer, you can start experience a change that comes from a grounded, sense of home within.

One of serious and often missed challenges in the lives of INFJ and many other Highly Sensitive People (HSP) has to do with trying to control life and others.

Those who became aware of this habit might have generated an added stress of feeling guilty of trying to control your friends or romantic partners to take your advice or do something "your way". Not only this can cause problems in relationships but also create an inner conflict in them. It's often missed because it's an unconscious tendency driving this behaviour. And as it is unconscious, the first step is to become aware if you want to liberate yourself from the constant overworking and over-giving.

✨Hey, my sensitive and intuitive people! 

The world is changing and we are changing. But not without an intense chaos that's escalating as we move into a new earth. As an INFJ, an empath and a very sensitive person I can feel the pressure intensifying and thought it would be good to share how I view this time and how I navigate this process of sieving through my parts of identity and old choices as I move to the “next level”, to the new earth that’s unravelling. 

When you listen, don’t forget to let me know what immediately you feel is too heavy. And what feels supportive and sustainable. I’m curious to know!

"Am I highly sensitive person or just traumatised?" I hear this question a lot.

Today I talk about of developing and increasing high sensitivity that is so misunderstood and confused even by the thought leaders of this subject.

There are 2 reasons why your sensory-processing sensitivity might increasing, one is much more common than the other. If you're a spiritual HSP this episode is for you.

It’s funny that after recording a video, I often realise what else I could say, so I hope it will bring you a bit more self-acceptance and awareness. So do let me know any experience you have with this and ask any questions.

Many Highly Sensitive people are overwhelmed by they sensitivity. In the most natural reaction to this they cut themselves off from using their senses. Actually most humans do everything to numb their sensations by thinking, distractions, addictions, unhealthy relationships, etc.

Today I speak about how you can raise from feeling burdened and victimised by your sensitivity to understand what it takes to draw power from it and move forward towards your highest actualisation.

When someone tells you that you're gifted because of high sensitivity, unique perception, complex mind etc, how do you feel?

From many conversations I've had, I know that many people don't see it that way. They can see how it might be a gift for others when they get to take advantage of those gifts.

Today I talk about how to claim and accept these gift can be a life-changing process for all highly sensitive, gifted, artistic, people who have so far felt burdened by their traits.

I forgot to mention Emma who runs amazing YT channel Adults With Overexcitabilities. Thanks to her, I learned a little about giftedness.

Perfectionism is deep habit of internalising high standards that often come at a very high price of stress, anxiety, low self-esteem to list just a few. The advice to deal with perfectionism shared from most sources is focused on the idea of changing behaviour. But this rarely works, right? I've observed that it's much easier to change the habit of perfectionism when you remember a certain truth about yourself.
