Our cross-generational HS women's circle is an open discussion group. Support, coaching, and empowerment. It isn't quite a therapy group, but rather a drop-in support group run by a therapist. And we would love to have you join us this month.

Highly Sensitive Women (HSW) are invited to join in a monthly Sensitivity Circle offering community support and solutions, guided by International Consultant on High Sensitivity and therapist, Alane Freund, LMFT.

Women in our circles have wondered about friendship, connection, overwhelm, creativity, life changes, relationships, parenting, family, dating, divorcing, loss, finding purpose, spirituality, meditation, mindful living, well, you get the picture. The discussion is always rich because our sensitive brains are going deep and thinking hard. Our strong empathy brings up emotions and compassion. There is no other conversation I would rather have than one with a circle of highly sensitive women.

How do you know if you are highly sensitive? Your brain processes more deeply, you can become overwhelmed more easily with all that thinking and noticing, you have strong empathy and emotional reactions, and you often notice the little things that others miss. Sound familiar? It can be a challenge to be one of the 20+% who are highly sensitive, but it's truly a gift when you live your life honoring your more reactive and more feeling brain.

I've been hosting drop-in support groups since the mid 90s when I created several of them at the community mental health clinic where I worked as a therapist and case manager early in my career. They are the best: a quick, accessible moment of support and community, and an ideal companion to regular therapy or 12-step meetings.

Are You Highly Sensitive Sensitivity Circles with Alane Freund are using a sustainable or "green" economy price structure. The idea is that those who can, will pay at higher levels, thereby creating a level of sustainability that supports others in the community who need to pay at a lower level.
