High Sensitivity

Celebration of the high sensitivity of the personality

Long before he was seriously ill, often had the feeling that I felt emotions deeper and more painful than many of my friends and colleagues. Things seemed to roll off the back, while I became very involved in some way by what he saw or heard.

I can easily pick up on how others felt, and my emotional energy. I was always worried about what the people around me were subjected: if he had said or done something to offend, and what gave me that look that really mean?

It was important for me to put the needs of others before of my own. I felt uncomfortable if my needs are met before them, and I worried what they think of me. One of my strongest beliefs was that it was my responsibility to help and even save others. I remember when I was young my father saying: "You can not save the world" and think of me, "But I have to do it! "

I've always wanted to be a little less emotional when it comes to matters of heart, a little less moved for movies hear the stories of bravery and courage, a little thick skinned when it comes to making decisions. I thought so highly sensitive and was far from a blessing. What was wrong with me?

EFT not only allows me to overcome Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also helped me to answer all these concerns and self. I freed myself from the load (as I thought it was) to be sensitive and began to see the positive, the possibilities and potential that come from having this personality type.

Far from being a "burden", I could see that I – and anyone who experienced the beliefs and behavior patterns similar – has much to offer. Very sensitive people are extremely intuitive, making them aware of what others are thinking and feeling. His empathy allows them to be very understanding the situation of someone, and perceptive to their needs. All valuable traits when working with others.

When I started working with clients who are sick chronic, which was fascinating to hear how they talked about: their experiences, their thoughts about themselves and the world, his desire to make a difference in the world, however, constantly feeling overwhelmed by the prospect, and as always pushed themselves to be perfect. Often, confessed that he felt different, misunderstood and as if something was "wrong" with them.

Of course, I am not suggesting that only customers who thus spoke ill of me, but I do not could deny the correlation. Now I think that many people with chronic illness have a high sensitive personality, and self healing sometimes result, is essential for curing the symptoms of the disease and pain.

From my experience working with chronically ill people during five years I also believe that highly sensitive people may be more predisposed to the disease. The essence of his nature is to be useful to point to get second. As general are perfectionists, trying to make sure everything in your life is perfect, from project work, to family relationships, to ensure their time is spent helpful. They can easily become overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done, and what they see around them, and may feel a sense of despair when they consider things outside their control.

All this is very demanding on the body. If these beliefs and behavior patterns are at the root of our being – and are seen as a disgrace – the stress, then every day, or specific traumas have a further impact, and inevitably, the body is noted by a change. In other words, stop working at its best in any way.

When working with clients who have presented these thoughts and feelings, the first aspect is usually the address is is angry with them because they are "sensitive" or "very emotional." Reframing this, so they begin to recognize the miracle that lies be sensitive, given the value of their skills of empathy and intuitive.

EFT can dissolve limiting beliefs "It is wrong that this" sensitive, and instead of someone asking, "What's wrong with me because I feel this so deeply?", after using EFT, will be making the list of "What that's fine with me for feeling so deeply? "The dissolution of negative emotions about what we are and what I feel is the way to forgiveness, and forgiveness is physical healing.

The next EFT can be useful if you're reading this and realize the similarities in how to think, feel and behave.

Although I am angry with myself because I'm so sensitive, when I decided to accept myself anyway

Although I would be more thick-skinned and not easily hurt, which deserve to accept myself for being me

Although I have always this being the sensible thought was a weakness, what if it is actually a strength?

Superior head: I'm angry with myself because I feel everything so deeply

Eyebrow: Why am I so sensitive?

SIDE OF EYE: I can feel what they feel

Under the eye: and I worry that I have hurt in some way

Under nose: I seem to absorb all

Chin: and it's so exhausting!

Collarbone: I feel so different

Under the arm: What is wrong with me?

Superior head: Perhaps I could turn this around

Eyebrow: and think about this from another perspective

SIDE OF EYE: It's good that I can feel things of this profound

Under Eye: It's just that I'm so aware of what others think and feel

Nose: I can help and support

Chin: I can make a difference

Collarbone: and I deserve to do this in a triumphant

Under Arm: I choose to celebrate who I am and how I feel

Really accept what we are and how we feel is the first step to heal wounds, new and old. Rethinking our point of view that allows us to see the gifts inherent in the depth of feeling free gifts to flower. EFT can help us both.
