March 2016
 
Spring is almost here!
Sunday, March 20, 2016 at 12:30 AM EDT is the exact moment of the spring equinox. This is a time when we "spring" from planning into action! Allow yourself this month to begin manifesting all the seed thoughts you've been planting all winter. It's time for them to come into the light and bloom!
 
New Therapy Group Beginning for the Highly Sensitive Person!
This group will meet for 11 weeks in Chapel Hill.
March 23 - June 8 (no session April 20)
Wednesdays, 6:00 - 7:45 pm
We will be focusing on "the Highly Sensitive Person's Workbook",
which will be a required text for the group.
Our first meeting on March 23 will begin with the film "Sensitive" by Dr. Elaine Aron, featuring Alanis Morrisette.
This group is appropriate for you if you are an hsp. Not sure? Go to www.hsperson.com and take the self-test. This group is open to those who have participated in my previous hsp groups, as well as those who haven't. We will be delving into the workbook in a way that previous groups have not.
Wondering what you might get out of this group?
*a sense of "normalcy", even though you are different from the majority of the population
*an experience of the gifts of being an hsp
*coping tools
*deeper self-understaning
*most importantly - a feeling of camaraderie and support
