HSP & Anxiety : managing your emotions more effectively and regaining inner balance through therapy and coaching in Lillers, near Béthune, or online
Be you.
Find your place. Live with purpose
It’s exhausting to live a life without a user manual. When you feel out of step with everything, both ‘too much’ and ‘not enough’. When you fit into every box and, at the same time, into none... When you want to do so much that you can no longer choose. When you feel everything too intensely, all the time. When you quickly feel emotionally overwhelmed, when you’re tired of analysing everything, or of absorbing other people’s emotions...
High sensitivity can be a real asset, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can also lead to anxiety, mental fatigue, burnout, a lack of self-confidence or difficulty finding your place.
This lack of inner stability creates a constant sense of uncertainty, deep loneliness, or the feeling of wearing a mask (or masks) to constantly adapt to others.
The aim of therapy is not to “become less sensitive”, but to learn to live with this sensitivity in a more peaceful and secure way.
What being an HSP means...
-
emotions experienced very intensely
-
a tendency to overthink or ruminate
-
fatigue following social interactions
-
a strong sense of empathy
-
sensitivity to stress or conflict
-
a feeling of being easily overwhelmed
-
difficulty setting boundaries
-
a strong need for calm or solitude
-
a feeling of being “different” or “too much”
Some highly sensitive people have learnt to hide their emotions or constantly adapt to others, which can become exhausting in the long run.
When life as an HSP becomes a burden
Over time, hypersensitivity can lead to:
-
emotional overload
-
anxiety
-
a loss of self-confidence
-
self-esteem issues
-
a feeling of inner insecurity
-
complicated relationships
-
a fear of judgement
-
social isolation
-
mental exhaustion, also known as BURNOUT.
Many highly sensitive people also experience emotional hypervigilance: the nervous system remains constantly ‘on alert’, as if it had to anticipate everything.
I support highly sensitive people using an integrative brief therapy approach that combines:
-
MOSAIC-EMDR therapy
-
cognitive and behavioural therapies (CBT)
-
mindfulness
-
neuroscience
-
therapeutic coaching
The aim is to help you:
-
better understand how your emotions work
-
break out of hypervigilance
-
learn to regulate your emotions
-
regain a sense of inner security
-
set boundaries more calmly
-
regain your self-confidence
The sessions enable us to work on the emotions, the body and the thought patterns that perpetuate your distress.
Highly Sensitive Persons & Self-esteem
Many hypersensitive people have grown up feeling that they are “too sensitive”, “too emotional” or “not strong enough”. Over time, this can undermine self-esteem and create a constant need for external validation.
Therapy gradually helps you to regain a more peaceful relationship with yourself, to embrace your sensitivity and to develop a more stable inner confidence.
My aim isn’t for you to finally fit into a box. It’s for you to stop looking for one — and to build your own. So you can live your life with peace of mind, without ever apologising for who you are.
