In this week’s interview, I talked to the founder of Highly Sensitive Healing, author and professional dancer/teacher Jennifer Arnspiger. Clearly, she is a multi-passionate and talented being. Jennifer's healing journey is an empowering lesson for many of us who are in the midst of the dark night of our soul or in recovery from trauma. 

Jennifer shared with us how she discovered that she is a highly sensitive person, what are the common characteristics, potentials and some really good self-care tips too. We also talked a lot about why creativity and movement are so important for highly sensitive people.

This is a delightful interview, and I’d love for you to listen to this podcast. So, instead of including a summary here like I normally do, I am only going to include the show notes/highlights below but I'd add a full-length transcript at the end of this blog. (Just in case you prefer reading!)

You can also watch the video version if prefer that!

Shownotes/Highlights:

* Falling in love with ballroom dancing * Writing as a way to channel our intellectual creativity * Pretty Piece of Flesh: three short stories about how we collect experiences and they affect our bodies, and then how our body feels affects our experiences.* The journey of self-healing and helping other highly sensitive people* Highly sensitive people are not just people who are emotionally reactive or overdramatic. It is actually someone who is born with a hypersensitive nervous system* Common experience/tendency: trauma, co-dependency and toxic relationships* Honouring our sensitivity* There is something in common between the highly sensitive and creative people* Correlation between autoimmunity or mystery illnesses and being extremely sensitive and having a trauma* Healing modality: Ondamed and working with Desire Map* Supporting people who have been feeling the pain emotionally or physically and how to start over with new feelings and experiences* Self-care tips for highly sensitive people (foods to avoid, other resources that are helpful)

Transcript:

Sze Wing:              Hi, welcome Jennifer! Today you are my very special guest, who also shares a passion for dancing. I'm really looking forward to having this chat with you.

Jennifer:                Hello,

thank you for having me!

Sze Wing:              Great! So a little short introduction. So, Jennifer, she's the founder of Highly Sensitive Healing, which I find fascinating. She's a dancer, author, and healer, and she's specialized in helping people to heal and create a sensuous living, a life that is celebrated after some trauma or difficult times. Which is something I really care about, and I think we definitely need today.

Sze Wing:              So, first of all, welcome.
