Free workshop; How to work with Highly Sensitive Clients

Highly sensitive clients are more likely to seek out counselling as they experience more distress when life is not going well. They are impacted more from childhood trauma, ending of a significant relationship, loss and grief, and challenges in relationships.

But they are often misunderstood in the counseling room if the therapist isn’t aware that they are highly sensitive or aren’t fully aware of how these clients  are impacted differently by challenging situations.

This can look like silence in session; after about 20 minutes into the session the therapist has asked all the questions they could think of and the client has provided minimal information. That awkward heavy silence doesn’t feel good for either one. If this happens a few more times it is unlikely that the client will return.

The difference it can make in the therapy room when the therapist can identify that the client is highly sensitive and then have a few tools to create meaningful, therapeutic conversations.

One thing that many highly sensitive people don’t talk about is the struggle they have with friends. It’s a really lonely experience. It’s something that many of us feel so much shame with.

Making friends is seen as so natural. Having a group of friends is seen as the norm. But it isn’t for everyone.

I graduated from high school without a single friend. It took me years to be able to say this out loud due to how much shame I felt.

I’ve spent the last 10 years sitting with others like me with the same friendship wounds.

And I started to unpack why we struggle like this. We are kind, we are respectful, so why do we struggle with friends?

This course is a breakdown of all my learning both personally and professionally as to what the answers are and what to do about it

“I would recommend Tracy to friends and family who feel trapped in their head, their life, or their situation, or to those who need someone to help them feel heard and like they exist. I would recommend Tracy to these people because she helped me feel freer by gently unwinding me. While I typically like to reflect alone, Tracy helped me continue with an internal process without feeling like there was an external force. So to that, I would also recommend her to those who like to work things out on their own, but need a little nudge out of a constricting inward/downward spiral.”
