  • E206 - How to Resolve Complex Trauma Symptoms as a Highly Sensitive Person: 6 Proven Ways

    How to resolve complex childhood trauma symptoms can be answered in just one simple sentence: 

    Learn to unconsciously feel safe again (around other people).


    BUT that is so much easier said than done for most of us.

    We might rationally understand that there is no threat today, but deep inside on the level of our unconscious we feel unsafe. 

    We still don’t trust other people and we feel the need to hide behind a mask to protect ourselves.

    Today I want to break down the challenge of complex trauma symptoms to the most fundamental and simple solution as possible.

    I want to find answers to the question, whether there are overlooked ways, how we can directly reach out to our unconscious mind, where trauma memories are stored.

    And we will see if there are practical ways to finally feel safe again.

  • E203 - To Anyone, Who's a Highly Sensitive Person or Neurodivergent...

    If you clicked on this video, you most probably belong to the 20% of our population who is highly sensitive or has a neurodivergent condition like autism, ADHD or similar.

    Still, most sensitive people have no clue that they are highly sensitive or those who know about it, feel miserable for having these traits.

    A lot of HSPs and Neurodivergents seem to feel alienated, misunderstood and left out within a society that increasingly gets sicker.

    But instead of taking the role of victim, I want to encourage you with this video. We can’t change being highly sensitive or neurodivergent. That’s correct.

    But we can change the perspective and beliefs we have about these conditions. 

    So today you will see that being sensitive is an absolute gift.

    - You will also understand that HSPs and Neurodivergents are just DIFFERENT, not better or worse.

    - And you will understand how you can create a great and fulfilled life as a highly sensitive individual within a not so sensitive society.
