“Highly sensitive individuals naturally display strong empathy, and the term ‘empath’ has become a commonly used name when referring to highly sensitive people. As psychotherapist Ilse Sand puts it: ‘Sensitive people usually don’t need to practice their empathic skills… They need to practice remembering to focus on themselves.’ HSPs often forget to focus on their own needs and feelings because they are so preoccupied with sensing and understanding the needs and feelings of others around them.”
Another extract from Mark’s upcoming book, “Embracing the Gift of High Sensitivity … “

All HSP’s need to take care of themselves. For those moments when I get a little flustered with the amount of emotional demands from my kids, family, friends and clients (No, I love all my clients!) I recall the saying I once heard, “Only a rogue gives more than they have to give”. I then take a breather, take some natural remedies, and plan out some more R & R (rest & recuperation) for myself in the following days. It doesn’t take long to get the balance back again in your life. If it does you, then consider coming to see me!
