The Goal Of A Sensitive Woman

Dearest reader,

You know what’s really annoying? I didn’t ask to be this sensitive.

I didn’t ask to feel things FOR others before they do.

This level of perception is deeply invalidating because it is premonitory to many. It takes a particular person with a lot of bravery and openness to value this quality in someone.

It makes me a good coach.

It makes me a difficult partner.

Even though there is a part of me annoyed at this skill -- it also makes me who I am AND gifts me with the absolute thrill of feeling deep beauty, intense pleasure, and levels of love that are wildly rewarding.

So, here I am anyway. Reluctant some days even when I know the rewards this level of sensitivity brings. 

So, what do I do about it?

Well it’s taken me years upon years to first recognise it.
then accept it,
then grieve the life I cannot have because I cannot turn it off,
then LOVE it,
then learn to interact in the world with it skilfully.

(‘it’ being deep feelings -- intuitive, unprovable, illogical feelings). 

A lot of the rejection comes from being invalidated by people who don't operate in the same way.

They can’t sense or feel truth at the same level and so, is it a lie? 

No. Is it applicable to them? 

Maybe.

With great power comes great responsibility.

The responsibility to TRAIN these skills of receiving information, interpreting it, and then taking action.

The goal of being a sensitive woman isn’t to learn to regulate yourself.

It’s about learning why your sensitivities are part of your assignment here on this giant rock we call earth. 

If you're reading this you already recognise you are sensitive.

Now the other steps -- acceptance, juggling the emotions and building the skills. They're what I'm writing about today.

I put together a free weekend course that includes 4 live sessions for women who are ready to take responsibility for their sensitive body and stop overriding it.

I hope you'll join me. The last time I ran this I had over 300 Women sign up. I'm hoping to make this a little bit more intimate this time.

I'd love to connect and know each of you brave enough to navigate life in these sensitive bodies.
