I have training in a valuable play therapy modality called Synergetic Play Therapy®. Synergetic Play Therapy is described as, “a researched-informed model of play therapy blending the therapeutic power of play with nervous system regulation, interpersonal neurobiology, physics, attachment, mindfulness, and therapist authenticity. Its primary play therapy influences are Child-Centered, Experiential, and Gestalt theories.” I have never felt more drawn to a therapy modality and have found significant personal and professional satisfaction in learning about and practicing SPT.

Have you received feedback from others that you are “too sensitive,” or too easily overwhelmed? Do you find yourself feeling anxious, exhausted, overstimulated, and burned out? Perhaps you have noticed that you feel things very deeply and have a strong intuitive sense. If this sounds like you, you may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). High sensitivity is a genetic trait found in 15-20% of the population. According to researcher Dr. Elaine Aron, high sensitivity is an innate survival trait which allows the brain to absorb and process vast sensory information and subtleties of the human experience (think a slight change in facial expression or tone of voice). Because HSPs are processing massive amounts of information at a very deep level, they are vulnerable to overwhelm and burn out.
