Letting go and resisting temptation for recovering people pleasers

HSPSelf-Care
Written By NIkki Eisenhauer

On top of the general tensions & chaos of 2020, I'm seeing lots of heartache & change for highly sensitive people. Energies are a-churnin' Ya'll!!!! As we face big changes & big unknowns as a tribe and individually we will be challenged to let go and move on in many ways. I share a story about my old supervisor, Gus, a Spiritual Father, who lovingly helped me when I was a super green therapist & human being & taught me by showing me simplicity & truth in letting go.

Getting Better at Self Talk for HSPs

Getting Better at Self Talk for HSPs

This month we're focusing on a super relevant topic for all the Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) out there: the art of positive self-talk. If you're someone who feels deeply, picks up on the subtleties in your environment, and often finds yourself overwhelmed by the intensity of your emotions, this is the place for you. We're going to explore how the conversations we have with ourselves can really shape our experiences, especially for HSPs. We'll discuss strategies to transform negative self-talk into a more empowering and compassionate inner dialogue. Whether you're new to the concept of being an HSP or you've known it all your life, this session is all about understanding and nurturing your sensitive nature through the power of positive self-talk. Can't wait to connect with you all!

Support vs Enabling of Self and Others
Dec 11
Support vs Enabling of Self and Others

Welcome to our livestream today, where we're tackling an incredibly important, yet often misunderstood topic in mental health: the fine line between support and enabling. If you've ever found yourself wondering whether you're genuinely helping someone or unintentionally contributing to unhealthy behaviors, then you're in the right place. We're going to dive into what it means to truly support someone (or ourselves) in a way that promotes their well-being and independence, versus enabling behavior that might hold them back. Whether you're a caregiver, a friend, or someone who's just trying to be there for a loved one, this discussion is going to shed some light on how to strike that delicate balance. So, let's have an open and honest conversation about making supportive choices that truly benefit ourselves and those we care about. Can't wait to share insights and learn together with you all!
