You’re not “too much.” You’re just highly sensitive — and that can feel overwhelming.

You keep hearing, “You’re too sensitive, get over it.”
But you can’t.

You cry easily — whether from sadness, joy, or frustration — and no one seems to understand.
Instead, they make you feel like something is wrong with you.

You feel pulled in every direction: caring for others while feeling drained yourself.
You feel guilty for needing space, yet sometimes you start to resent the very people you love.

Loud noises can be startling.
A tag in your shirt can be unbearable.
Crowds can feel intolerable.

You feel like you have to escape just to survive.
You feel like a misfit, like the “weird one,” and no matter what you do, nothing seems to change.
You’re often told you overreact — and you start to believe it.

Yet it’s not a flaw.
It’s your biologically wired, highly sensitive nervous system.

Nothing Is Wrong With You

Being highly sensitive is a trait, not a problem.
Your nervous system is designed to notice subtleties, respond to emotions, and sense danger quickly.
It makes you empathetic, creative, and attuned — but it can also make the world feel overwhelming.

Sensitivity isn’t something to “fix.”
It’s something to understand, honor, and work with.

How Therapy Helps

Therapy provides a space to feel safe and seen while learning to manage your highly sensitive nervous system. Together we can:

• Understand how your nervous system responds to stress, emotions, and sensory input

• Learn techniques to calm your body and feel grounded in overwhelming moments

• Develop strategies to navigate relationships without shutting down or overextending

• Build confidence in honoring your needs without guilt

• Transform sensitivity into a strength, rather than a source of shame

You don’t need to change who you are.
You need tools to live fully as the sensitive, compassionate, thoughtful person you already are.
