Your sensitivity can become your strength.
Therapy for Highly Sensitive People (HSP) in NYC & across NY
You've been called “too sensitive” or “too much” for a long time.
Throughout your life, you’ve tried to cover up these vulnerable parts of yourself. You may have tried to ignore your sensitivity altogether.
Trying to be strong, you work hard to protect yourself. You’ve developed patterns of pulling away from conflict and overwhelming feelings.
You’ve learned to judge yourself before others can.
You feel overwhelmed & constantly on the verge of shutting down or exploding.
When you’re a Highly Sensitive Person, or HSP, the world (and your own inner world) often feels like too much.
You’re easily rattled and often get stuck in a mix of perfectionism and anxiety.
You push yourself to please and take care of others in your life - often at the expense of your own sanity
You feel the tension in your own body as you constantly work to maintain calm and balance
Worried about letting people down or worried about what they might think, you feel like your only options are to shove away your feelings, shut down completely, or just power through.
Frankly, it’s just exhausting.
The stress (and the magic) that come with sensing and feeling things deeply?
This is all part of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).
Being an HSP doesn’t mean you’re broken - in fact, you’re creative and intuitive.
You connect deeply to art, nature, and music. You’re deeply empathetic and attuned to those around you. Your eye for detail and organization has saved the day more times that you can count. You're ready to integrate sensitivity and embrace it for what it is: an integral part of who you are.
Your sensitivity is actually an asset.
Through music therapy, you can learn how to...
understand your sensitivity
gently nurture all parts of yourself
get grounded so you can stop exploding or shutting down
stop judging and criticizing yourself so harshly
take care of yourself and still be there for the people and things that matter to you
Music Therapy is especially helpful for Highly Sensitive People
Whether you consider yourself to be “musical” or not, music therapy offers benefits that seem tailor-made for HSPs. (Take my word for it: I’m both a music therapist and a proud HSP!)
In part, it’s because music therapy appeals to your creative nature. You’ve always deeply connected with music & we’ll use that connection to help you to access, understand, and express your feelings.
Therapy for highly sensitive people (HSP) can help you…
explore and express all kinds of feelings – even the ones you hate or ignore
stay grounded when others are upset, triggered, or trying to escalate things
stand up to that internal voice that says you’re too sensitive
understand what gets in your way - and know how to get unstuck from unhelpful patterns
