*1-1 Mentorship Information: Price & Structure (Maximum Capacity = 20 Clients Per Year)* It's an absolute pleasure to film these TH-cam videos, and I feel fortunate to receive an abundance of meaningful messages every week, but I am unfortunately faced with the disappointing reality of turning away the vast majority of people who want to work together. I have significantly limited availability and can only support twenty people per year because I do not offer one-off calls or drop-in consulting sessions. Twenty individuals might not sound like maximum capacity, but the last few years of teaching have taught me the importance of maintaining tight energetic boundaries if I want to keep uploading these free videos in addition to serving my current clients to the best of my ability in 2024. To minimise confusion and enhance transparency, I've spent several hours writing this ridiculously long comment to help you decide if my Inner Work Mentorship is the right choice for your development & what you could reasonably expect from working closely together. Please take the time to read this service description before contacting me on Instagram… or feel free to stop reading right now if you’re not interested in my fees, session structure, client expectations, etc. ... *READ BEFORE SCROLLING FURTHER:* I'm interested in long-term change and structural transformation, which is why I've never offered one-off sessions. Complex issues cannot be resolved in a few hours, but we likewise need to define an upper limit for containment and collaboration. I've learned that deep and enduring self-integration requires at least four months of immersive effort. Why four months? It's enough weekly contact for us to work through multiple complex issues and developmental possibilities, but short enough to mitigate against unconscious co-dependency and motivational stagnation. I'm currently accepting a maximum of two new clients per month - message me after reading the following section to check my availability. ... *HOW I WORK & WHO I WORK WITH* Unlike other coaches and teachers who take an understandably more relaxed approach to healing and integration, my mentorships are characteristically intense. This is a highly-demanding, high-investment process which requires our consistent combined effort over a period of four months. If we were to start working together, I would reasonably expect you to be excited to show up for a minimum of 10+ hours of self-motivated transformative practice per week (daily reading, fitness routine, creative exercises, spiritual reflection, etc.) while also maintaining full-sobriety (no drink, no drugs, no cigarettes, no vapes). These strict standards of discipline and sobriety are plainly unsuitable for most people in most situations - even genuinely motivated individuals who resonate with my TH-cam videos may not be the right match for four months of structured mentorship. If you want to get deeper, I've noticed that there's a certain type of ‘temperament' & 'timing’ to get the most out of me. I'm interested in alert, creative and purpose-driven individuals who aspire to exceptional standards of self-maturation and would enjoy the feeling of going through week-on-week of progressively stacked transformative experiences for a third of a year: my ideal client is somebody who is willing to bring forward their internal complexity with a sense of courage and transparency with the intention of nothing less than full-spectrum transformation & rapid acceleration on their personal path. I am yet to discover another supportive figure who offers something comparable to this mentorship: a four-month, structured yet flexible 1-1 container which is simultaneously therapeutic, academic and action-oriented; with primary focus placed on tangible improvements in your felt sense of self-knowledge and self-integration; in addition to making consistent and meaningful progress towards your unique goals and mentorship aspirations. I prioritise contact, compassion and accountability, which means that your work never really 'ends' at the end of your session. You can reasonably expect to be fed dozens of customised reading suggestions and follow-on perspectives outside of the formal sessions via friendly and informal messenger contact, where I am active and available four days per week to cultivate an intimate personal connection while likewise enhancing your positive momentum via accountability check-ins and additional support as required. By way of conclusion for what feels like an extraordinarily long comment and service description, I feel compelled to once more emphasise that working directly with me is unrealistic for most people in most situations. I often support people who are accustomed to wrestling with the emotional challenges associated with working through complex wounds in previous therapeutic relationships before we begin our coaching work together. Even individuals without 'hard trauma' can expect moments of pressurised darkness and heaviness during periods of shadow contact as you begin to restructure your personal unconscious. We will be exploring your psyche and soma at scale and depth, and it will be your responsibility to keep me informed about the emotional texture of your internal reality, especially if you encounter negatively charged experiences, and I will of course do everything in my power to support you through the hard times as we integrate the darkness and move forwards together. TH-cam is a wonderful place for me to share free research resources and offer accessible inner work invitations; my private mentorships, however, are the place for collaborative partnership and emotional security as we identify, navigate and restructure oftentimes confronting and challenging conscious and unconscious physical, emotional and mental material. Ultimately, this is a highly-demanding but highly-rewarding process which requires the best of our shared intentions. ... *SESSION STRUCTURE & FEES:* The total fee for an Inner Work Mentorship (including 12 x 2 hr sessions) is £7,400 GBP or approximately $9,400 USD. This is my only coaching programme, and my mentorship pricing is liable to adjustment over time.
Each private session lasts two hours, and is facilitated via Telegram video call at an ideal time for both of us. Your mentorship extends over a linear four-month period, with a total of twenty-four hours of structured session time, in addition to four days per week of unlimited messenger availability for accountability updates, voice note exchanges and informal calls upon occasion. I do not work on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays, but I am fully-available across all timezones for regular calls and messenger contact on Thursday - Sunday. If you’ve scrolled this far, and resonate with what I’m offering, I invite you to message me on Instagram. It would be my pleasure to start exploring your goals and intentions in real-time. IMPORTANT: I am an intentionally independent coach, and not a licensed therapist or associated with any professional bodies or coaching institutions, and therefore enjoy the freedom to collaborate with my clients across all areas of life in an intimate, direct and highly involved coaching style. I work with no more than twenty people per year, and am currently accepting a maximum of two new clients per month. I also manage my own inbox and do not use automated systems or employ people to pretend to be me on Instagram, which means that it usually takes four to six weeks for me to respond to new messages and begin the interview process. Although my approach takes time, I hope you ultimately appreciate my personal emphasis on authentic and confidential communication from the very beginning of our relationship. I once again encourage you to message me immediately if you want to start working together within the next two months - bump yourself to the top of my inbox, and I’ll send you some voice notes to get our conversation started.
Could you please tell me what qualifications you have? Academic one that makes you trained in giving out this kind of mentor ship program. Didn't find that info
@@khaulam100 This is my own programme that I have been refining for the last three years and delivering to dozens of clients - will work on formalising this process to teach other coaches and professional supportive figures in the coming years. Thank you for asking!
💚Wow!!! You sound like you know your shit! Im impressed. I am a lifetime healer of childhood trauma....plugging away!!! I know my way out is to choose to see the beauty around me at this point! The beauty in all situations! Having my mom complete suicide has helped me to not take myself too seriously and to see that each move I make is seen through the lense of Love or Fear. It helps me to choose Love more often. ( Thanks Emmanuel🙂) I wish you well on your beautiful journey here. Thanks for sharing all that you know and I'm sure helping alot of people ready for your message! Love and Light💚
I am a natural born empath. I had a horrible childhood and became an addict. I got clean and went to nursing school. The last 2 years I've worked as a long term care nurse. I feel it is my calling to care for people in the last years of their beautiful lives. I have such a deep connection to those I care for. My heart is full bc of them.
This is the first video of yours that was thankfully and unexpectedly placed on my TH-cam feed... And, Im not sure if anyone has told you this before but..... You have an amazing voice lol its extremely soothing frfr If you dont do guided meditation videos.... Please, consider doing so bc they'd be awesome
Just like Jung said - it is not what happened to me, it is what I make of what happened. It is not being sensitive, it is what I make out of being sensitive. I am HSP with trauma and spiritual hunger but I am many other things as well 💕
Borderline personality disorder is characterized in one degree as the ability to sense other peoples emotions and micro expressions accurately better than the general population. They are considered “emotional burn victims” that react with extreme negativity when triggered. They also are linked to childhood trauma. I wonder how many people diagnosed with bpd really are just hsp or if it’s two faces of the same coin. Bpd is such a constricting diagnosis and I hope if you have that label you can move past it! You are not bad!
I have pyrrole disorder (rare), BPD, and severe dissociation disorder. If I could tell you, I felt God and I manifested my money. Now I’ve been going through the worst karma. I’m so sad. I heard and saw amazing things in my sleep, I still do as I try to regrow and retrain my psyche. Tarot cards, manifestation, meditation, it’s all amazing. Recommend
@@Perfect.Presence.Pisces it’s really not and I’m so sorry you feel like that. One thing that made a big difference for me was making sure my hormones were balanced. Start tracking your moods and your cycle and see if there’s a pattern
I had a full blown mental breakdown due work grievance, bereavement and childhood trauma. Within one month of my breakdown I resigned from my job applied for my dream job and got it, then started a counselling course to help others. Before I used to help everyone but myself, get mad then burn out and take narcotics. Please be kind to yourself.... being a hsp requires a mass amount of self love that you didn't receive as a child. Love this channel
I’m so glad I found this video. I get drained in stimulating environments. I’ve never fit in anywhere. I’ve had a childhood trauma and I’ve spent most of my life trying to recover. I’m creative but been laughed at for it. I’ve been hospitalized for clinical depression. I am still proving doctors wrong. I am working on the healing. Thank you as I needed to hear this.❤
Funny the creative part. Most every sensitive person is deeply artistic in some way. It's nice to see that emerge as we set boundaries and look deeper into ourselves. Shame to think we gradually suppressed our nature to appease the jealousy and envy of the haters.
Do you think that you could talk more about the highly sensitive persons way of viewing and taking responsibility? I am myself an hsp and my childhood has definitely affected how I handle responsibility. Sometimes it seems like there's no middle ground, either I take on way too much, or I can't take on anything at all because I feel overwhelmed and become overstimulated. It's hard to balance it. I found this video very interesting. Thank you for talking about such a complex topic. I haven't experienced that many people take the hsp trait very seriously, but it can really be a real struggle to have this trait so this video felt like a warm hug, thank you.
I've screenshotted your question and will likely return to this topic within a month, thank you! Worth giving a more detailed exploration, likewise feel there is more to be said which is difficult to summarise in one video or a few comment responses! Short answer: There is a middle ground, and we are wise to condition ourselves to beware the extremes - which is mainly a question of healing the nervous system. Look into polyvagal theory, somatic therapy and bioenergetic therapy if you're looking for research. Alexander Lowen, Peter Levine and Allan Schore are all great to read. Wishing you the best in the meantime,
"Know thyself" More specifically, learn your limits and what it feels like in your body when you're approaching them. Don't go past them unless you also allow yourself double the recovery time.
When we commit to make the time and space to listen to ourselves and what we need, this is the exact realization we come to as HSPs. We are not “bad” or “weird” or hard to love. If anything we have an abundance of love and light to give to the right people in the right circumstances. I very much needed to see this video to remind myself that this skill set is useful and should not be wasted in this life time. Thank you for this.
Abundance to give, and the responsibility to learn where, who and how much. High sensitivity is well worth cultivating and shaping into something life-affirmative for others, I agree Kelly. Happy to have connected today and appreciate you taking the time to write this beautiful comment.
I'm currently reading "The courage to be disliked", a book which explains Adlerian psychology in a dialogue form. It really challenges the victim mindset, which I have also repeatedly fallen into. I can recommend it, but it might be wise to read it slowly and let the matter sink in. At first it was quite shocking to me, but it provides a very interesting perspective to this victim mindset.
Legit! It’s a path of emotional maturity and getting one’s spiritual balls to drop. Developing secure attachment within one’s soul is earned by facing the world in our naked feelings and around people that mirror the terrors of our childhood…the nervous system WILL develop and embracing all our feelings ….and the feelings of others without getting consumed or lost is wholeheartedly possible. Peace.
@@kathylovesmk I've screenshotted this question, and will do my best to make a full video response - vulnerability after trauma is an important topic. Thank you for asking.
That’s the intuitiveness of HSP’s at work! We (especially high level HSP’s or Empaths) have a greater level of consciousness due to more active insulas, and our differently wired and working brains! This is an innate trait, something 20% of us are born with! It’s up to us to ban together to teach the other 80% and lead them to understand that emotions are what make us ALL human! We HSP’s are Deep Processors and able to solve great problems in life. Although we may have experienced trauma in our past, our traumas don’t define us! Our HSP Does though and are special gifts that we All need to embrace to help lead the rest of the world to be a kinder and more peaceful place. Best to All HSP’s! You are ALL very special and need to remember this! Many take us for granted, but it’s up to us to set strong boundaries and use our special traits to help others. Together we can change the world for the better! Wishing Love and Light to ALL!🙏😊👍💞💥✨✨✨✌️
Signing off for my weekly unplug & seeing your comment as the last interaction online for a few days. I’m happy to have helped, keep going - and make sure to get the books too. They’re excellent 🌲
Glad to have affirmed this for you - hope that you also feel guided towards potential future paths with professionalisation and full-time creativity, if that calls for you.
@@jordanthornton thank you, I definitely feel called , I think towards art and the spiritual interpretation of things. Always fascinated with human behaviors, even my own. So if I end up with some type of calling it would be towards those things
Your voice is very soothing. I agree with you. I am a HSP. I have suffered yet survived through a lot. So much that it brought my therapist into tears. The most interesting thing is, finding my voice, setting boundaries and seeing my strength.
Ach. You got me. You described my situation so well. I’m without a job right now and so scared of getting another because I’ve felt like I want to vomit every day I’ve worked since I joined the work force. I just feel incompatible with society with the amount of sensitivity that I have. So frustrating. But I do believe you that it’s a muscle I can work. Some days were a little bit better than others. At the end of the day I just want to get beyond the labels and into a life where I can show up and be useful to others and to myself :)
This was the first video I've watched of yours when I was at the lowest point of my existence and you saved me and till this day I don't know how this happened. I don't know if you remember my comment before but your channel kept me alive when nothing else could. My life now took an unexpected new direction I could never imagined before. I'm optimistic and fully grateful for you. Thank you so much Jordan
I remember, and I started crying reading your comment just now. Thank you for sticking through the darkness and walking towards the light which was waiting for you. Well done 🌲
I had a lovely childhood and most loving parents but my sensitivity got exposed when i left home at 18 to study. The spiritual instinct was present before troubles began. I am 39 now and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. It has been nearly two decades of dealing with nervous disorders. Even without childhood trauma a sensitive personality can be a burden. Only a little bit of coaching at an early age could have saved me so much trouble. Of many complication one interesting one is because of my sensitivity i was able to read into behaviours nobody else saw to predict the future. Often with uncanny success. This power is a double edged sword that takes one in the spiral of constantly trying to control the future because I know what is likely going to happen. Never lets your mind relax.
Postscript: I am aware that some people will receive this video as being inconsiderate, insensitive or unnecessarily tough on HSP's. It's true that sensitive people are 'built different'. I likewise remember how comforting it felt to first discover the terminology of 'empath' and 'HSP' - there is a temporary feeling of pseudo-liberation, but there is more inner work to be done. Psychological labels are useful at the beginning stages, but they must be transcended as we individuate into further complexity. It's a foundation to be advanced beyond. Sensitive people have a special skillset which I want to see amplified - unique challenges, unique opportunities. Full-time creativity and meaningful work in the helping professions appear as the most obvious and natural pathways for the HSP - it's my hope that you find these possibilities encouraging and empowering 🌲
I didn't find it too harsh, even a highly sensitive person needs a kick up the arse sometimes. A call to action? Is very possibly the thing that this highly skilled (and sometimes completely terrified) bunch of mostly garden dwelling hermits need to realise we are here to use these skills in this lifetime not hide them or from them. A call to action. First step- stop hiding from people 👻 Thank you for the insightful words.
Never seen a video of yours before. It's truly inspiring. I used to be a psychologist but really burned out during a shitty divorce and domestic violence. I'm struggling to get back on my feet, I want to return to my profession, but I need to do it my own way, gently and self-employed, and with the confidence that my traumatic life can be transformed into gold.
Gently and self-employed is absolutely the way. Take on a small client load with people who you genuinely connect with and care about. Wishing you all the best on your comeback.
Hi! I read your comment and it touched my heart for a reason. Let me say, you don't need to rush, feel okay to give yourself the time and love! You deserve to heal and be just who you are. You are already a big help for others, sharing your problems, being honest, showing vulnarablity is power and a gift. It can heal others. :) Never-ever underestimate that. :) And if you are returing on that path again (with a lot of wisdom), thats wonderful, but if not, then it's also ok and maybe you are just designed for another thing. Your are perfect the way you are. I hope the best for you!
This made me cry 😢 The Last 3 years I've worked part time, as a healer and clairvoyant counsellor as we call it. 2 weeks ago, I closed the physical part of my clinic. Where I've done all my healings, and most part of the clairvoyant sessions. The energy wasn't right there any more, and I couldn't make ends meet. But packing away my diplomas, made me cry. It was like packing away, a huge part of me. I haven't given up. For now I'm just doing readings and healings online. I need to gather some strength, and see clearly if I even need a new place. First time, I see one of your videos. Ment to be. Thank you! ❤🙏

Stephanie, I'm sorry to hear this... but also encouraged by your mindset in this transitional period. I'm sure you're already finding your next steps. Sending you strength and support.
This is natural for clairvoyants, it’s called completion of one part of your journey. It’s not failure it’s completion. I just recently closed doors to all psychic readings to do TH-cam. I at first felt the same, like it was giving up a part of all I had been. But realised it’s just a part of your journey and now you are evolving into new doors opening up. Growth and evolving not endings. 😊
I hear you. As a healer myself (nurse) I was unfortunately in an accident and suffered multiple vertebral fractures. Has stopped me from doing the job I love, it’s like a huge part of my identity is missing. I do not feel like I am useful anymore. I have really had to look at the everyday giving, kindness, love etc that I give others and remind myself that I’m still important and I’m still helping people, just in a different way. Our kind of work is very draining, we give too much of ourselves unfortunately and we don’t realise until it’s too late. It’s your time to give yourself all of that compassion and love you have given others and direct it back into yourself xx hugs
You should definitely do guided medifation with that incredible voice ! I used my highly sensitive nature as a Social Worker, supporting so many families. In the end I burnt out due to giving all my energy and getting hardly any support for fifteen years.
I understand what you're saying - I'm sorry to hear about the burnout. I have a video on the 'Wounded Healer' which you might find useful - it talks about how to avoid these issues.
I subscribed today. I am also a sensitive person who experienced childhood trauma. I married an alcoholic and recently asked him to leave. I'm also a nurse who was very disturbed from "Covid" and have been in therapy for PTSD. Yesterday my therapist indicated I need to heal the childhood trauma and be the loving mother to the lost teenager within. I have set new goals to alter my career path within this next year and move to a quieter location (live a simpler life). I have always held onto the belief in the beauty of life, the goodness in humans, and my faith in God. Learning how to forgive has helped. I appreciate your video.
I needed to hear this today. Thank you. It's a constant struggle to feel and thrive in the spiritual world while being in a constant state of confusion as to why not everyone "gets it" like I do. Being misdiagnosed was not helpful either and was actually a huge hindrance to healing as it made me more vulnerable to the toxic people in my life. I've subbed and am watching the next video! 👍
This absolutely perfect! I'm 66, finally in a space where I don't have to be so stressed to survive in this world (very long story) but have spent the last couple of years working hard to get that wonderful magical girl I used to be. She is finally back but backed by the years of learning how to live in this crazy world. I really had to shut that girl down to become a "success" in this world. I am finally in a place where I can write my book(s) about what I have learned along my spiritual path, and fine tune my abilities to "see" things. Thanks for this video!
Thank you for this beautiful reflection. I used to believe that my highly sensitive trait was a curse because the emotions become unbearable at times. However, through deep shadow work, and psychotherapy I have finally embraced my sensitive nature 🥰💕
I can relate to these feelings, and understand that frustration you must have been through. Incredibly pleased that you've been doing the shadow work and self-therapy to show up in your power and step into leadership to support others doing the same!
You’re almost too beautiful to focus on your soothing voice and perfect words but after Decades of unquenchable spiritual hunger I learned from you what fueled it. Staying sober created thicker skin❤
Jordan: I'm 29 years old and I'm finally at a place where I am optimistic about my sensitivity. Thank you for sharing this information with me. I believe I have found this video at the perfect time for me. I have done no schooling, have no career, and have never had a girlfriend outside of middle school. For first time ever feel that I can actually accomplish something if I set my mind to it! Now I just need to decide what to set it to
I’m a HSP who has gone through the healing process after child and adulthood trauma. I understood every single word you said. Now I sit surrounded in beauty, strong, authentic and wonder how I can use this new found self to help others and myself engage with life instead of hide from it. Well, time to take my walk (3 miles a day) where I will remove banana slugs from the trail so that they don’t get squished. 👍🏻 Thank you young man!
I don't know how this came up on my feed. But I just commented on someone else who has borderline personality disorder. Childhood trauma is significant. But it includes so much more. And I have always been beyond sensitive like no one else I've ever ever met since I can remember. This word exhausts me constantly. Although I am very social as an adult, I still get burned out quickly. I live alone because I need so much alone time to unwind. Appreciate this video. Mahalo.
It’s very difficult to stand up tall, and smile through all the tragedy and sensitivity and at the same time enjoy the most subtle moments of life while we are being thrown into this simulation which could be considered the race for survival… but we have to do it, and we have to be inspiring, we don’t have any other choice 😊 I hope I get to talk to you one day in the future.
We're talking right now - happy to connect! Beautifully worded comment and great energy you're putting out on your channel. Agree that we must find our way through tragedy and sensitivity - middle path.
I’m blown away. I’ve never heard the term “highly sensitive people” previous to this video and yet it’s as if you described my life story. Of course the context is broad but nonetheless so apt. This not only gave me more insight but also helped me understand some big wins I’ve had mentally on this path I’ve been following the last year. Thank you so much for your work
Brendan, thank you brother. Great to see some like yourself finding value in an area of inner exploration which is easy for us to cover over as men! Celebrating your external and mental health wins. Great lifts and channel dedication - strong example.
As a 10 yr old, I used to stand in the school corridor, looking at all the kids and things around, and ask myself “what’s beyond all this, I want real answers, what am I here for, in this world, around these people.” I always felt like my safe place is somewhere beyond places or people, as I felt emotionally deprived in my own family
Hi Jordan, I have a son named Jordan who is a hsp. He is 22 and he has systematically dropped every friend that he made a connection with. Most of them had narcissistic traits. He is a Christian but has lost his spiritual connection with God due to health issues. He feels that God too has abandoned him. I pray for him daily. We are close but he doesn't want to bother me with his troubles. He doesn't know how to externalize his traits.
Hi Melby..wondering if your son might see it that Now is the time to lean into God and not away. Maybe the health issue is just a learning lesson for your son. Sometimes it's a change of perspective and attitude. I can do this rather then I can't do this. Please hang in there and I will send prayers.
So much truth to what you're saying, and I definitely can indentify with alot of your insights as someone who's dedicated to the journey of deep healing. As my self-compassion grows stronger, I feel it's a very natural need to extend that love and care onto the world in some form. Self-healing is self focused for good reasons, but at a certain time, you reach that threshold and want to outsource that love. For me, it's reaching out to a community and volunteering. We might feel alone in our sufferings and it is true that we are to some extent, but we're so intertwined to a larger collective with other people who's also suffered to systematic abuse either in their personal relationships or otherwise it shows up in our lives. There's so much suffering out there and the world is longing for connection and community and true family to belong to. If you're without a family, know you're free to define what that truly means to you. Know that you have always a place in this world, there's always people who wants to help 💙 I wish for love and healing for everyone 🦋
Jenni, thank you for your beautifully written and thoughtful comment. I enjoyed reading this, and can tell you've been doing your work. Great message to be amplifying. Sending support for your next steps.
Thank you for changing my life for the better. I am glad you do what you do. I am glad I came across your video and very much look forward to your other work. I wanted you to know that you are making a big positive impact in my life mate. Thank you. A kid I was mentoring and tutoring when I lived in Beijing, my last day living in China, he said to me (paraphrasing a little bit): "I gave myself a Western name, Jonathan. I am going to go to Peking University and become a teacher, and go back to Sun Village (in the outskirts of Beijing), and help the kids (who live by themselves while their parents are in prison) like you are helping us." I am not changing my name from John to Jordan, but I am that kid thanking you (with a lot of gratefulness and appreciation) for the positive impact you are making in my life. Very thankful and very grateful for the work that you do. Thank you. :)
On a metaphysical level , you can also work on the aura and strengthen it and make it smaller so it's not blown out and picking up on the energy of others . You can visualize a sphere of mirrors surrounding you and state this mirror will deflect any negative energies that drain me , make me depressed , drag me under ....only energies that are of the highest frequencies can penetrate this shield of mirrors . Working on the solar plexus chakra and root chakra via visualization or reiki also works . Commanding energy is another one that works . You can command energy that isn't yours to be sent back to whomever it is from and command any energy taken from you without your explicit permission to be returned to you . Also clearing these energies with a pendulum , clearing any etheric cords works as well . If you make it a daily practice , you will definitely see tangible results . Visualizing white light clearing all toxic debris while showering also works . Lots of different methods can clear unwanted energy that empaths and HSP tend to absorb .
About three years ago I started to pull myself out of a five year deep depression. I had been held down by of issues that left me depleted and feeling hopeless. I encountered a person with great positive energy. I slowly tried to put what little energy I had to steer my life away from anger and sorrow . Currently I'm filled with optimism and often joy. I try to relish the bounty I enjoy from a walk in nature, a sunrise or the kindness of strangers. In two years I have worked toward living a conscience life. I hope I acknowledge those who had benefited me. You sound like one of those souls. No judgement, no preaching just learning a different way if viewing the world.
Thank you for making this heartfelt content. It really resonates with me as an INFJ. I have strong HSP traits and yes, I had a severely abusive childhood racked with physical, sexual and emotional abuse for 10 years by a father and three older brothers. I ran away from home at 15 and spent a year homeless and doing LSD, mushrooms and peote cactus…At 16 years old I learn about Macrobiotics, transcendental meditation and yoga which saved me from self medicating with hardcore drugs and alcohol like so many people did in the 1970’s. Later on I learned Sylvia Mind control mediation. I feel blessed that my spiritual path came early to me. At 61 I feel like I am just getting to know myself since my children are all grown and out of my home. I feel blessed to find your channel. Thank you again.
you should try Jesus Christ… He can heal you and set you free truly. All you have to do is have faith that He died on the cross for your sins and rose again and the third day. You need forgiveness! Ask Jesus for forgiveness
Thank you. I’m not sure how common this is but the trauma itself had become a big part of my identity; old choices/ actions/ habits/ excuses were all products from it. Honestly, it felt as though everything I knew to be true in my life collapsed once the trauma was processed/integrated. Was not expecting a fallout from healing- but here we are- learning to rebuild with gentle awareness and honest intention. Good luck everyone. ✨
I have found that what you are saying was a natural expansion within me once I realized I had no choice in my sensitivity as a child, did some acceptance & healing in my adulthood and then CHOSE to share my gift after doing deep work. I now prefere to work with children to plant and keep self-esteem intact, and also because they are less scary than other adults 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for sharing your truth through your videos. It's the first time I have seen one, and I hope to watch more....
Stephenie, I'm glad that you've found your centre in childcare and chidl-education work. It's a beautiful place to serve, and often aligned with sensitive women! It's my pleasure to connect with you - many more videos to come and a whole 52 episode series on Inner Work Essentials already available on this channel if you're interested!
Thank you for bringing this up. This is one of my biggest challenges. It's as if I'm scared to be firm in case I show my anger and hurt someone so I usually avoid situations where I should really be setting boundaries and be respected.
This is refreshing I love this perspective. I have always been hsp along with what comes with it. When I was younger I align with everything you say. Through the years reading Ive come to teach myself how to be the best version for myself and my kids. Struggled between spiritual and grounded human life. So many great lessons. My kids are also my teachers. I will always be grateful to keep learning. This video has shown me how far Ive come. Thank you 💜
Wonderful grounding voice 🙏 thank you for your wonderful way of caring. I found you for the first time today and I had to smile about the synchronizity that I was also wearing a wool hat like you while I was listening to you in my apartment. I found out that it gives me more feeling of comfort and boundaries when I wear something on my head. Sometimes such little things are helpful and make a difference.
☺️ Dear Jordan, yes I know. During my amazing journey through the world of sensitivity it has developed that I got into the world of frequencies. When I get in contact with someone (personal or by message) I receive an individual very specific personal frequency signal from this person like a morse code. It appears behind my eyes as a movement with a clear structure. About this connection energetic transfers mostly begin to flow to bring back into divine harmony. I do energetic transformation as my work and when I work in the quantum field in general with a certain intention, many signals of people appear that resonate with the healing topic. They all join the circle and engage although they are not at the same place with me. It is a astonishing experience but I also have a lot to do to clear myself and to get back to the state of I am I and you are you, afterwards. I subscribed your channel now and feel excited about going the path together. 🌟🌠🍀🌻
Something I have had to learn to do is, what is ok for me. Also who am I? Not what others say you are but who are you at your core. Own that part of you.
*Want your own healing questions answered in the next episode? Here are the Inner Work themes and concerns which I am currently prioritising:* - Trauma Healing & Trauma Release - Parts Work & Subpersonalities - Jungian Psychology & Archetypes - Transpersonal Psychology / Healing - Self Education & Research Suggestions - Masculine / Feminine Dynamics - Addiction, Recovery & Sobriety In the spirit of doing this work together, and extending our genuine concern for others, I invite you to consider phrasing your question to serve on behalf of both yourself and the silent stranger across the ocean who is seeking the exact same answers as you, but might not be willing to get directly involved. We experience our internal worlds independently, but we are remarkably interwoven at our essence. I find this zoom-out awareness connective and comforting, so I naturally welcome your individual perspective while also looking forward to watching this series unfold at the particular intersection between personal circumstances and broader collective challenges. In terms of question boundaries and guidelines, these videos are not an opportunity for long personal essays or indiscriminate trauma dumping. Self-reflective writing is suitable for private journaling, but clearly inappropriate for a public video series. I hope this is obvious, but perhaps worth stating nonetheless. *Question Length: I kindly request that you limit your question to a maximum of two concise sentences.* Important: Comment replies do not show up in my notification box. Please post your question as a new comment on this video, otherwise I will not see your message.

Thank you from the bottom of my highly sensitive heart. Really started to believe that I was not of this world, that I was unlucky to be an empath. You gave me a much better perspective.
This is amazing, a perfect description/reflection on my actions/personality Insane understanding and thinking outside the box Empath traits nearly psychic I was never gonna sit 1-1 with a random person opening up about my problems in my teens I started listening to Alan watts at around 17 a lot happend since than and I was crushed mentally It helped me a lot isolating in solitude from 20-21 right now with a lot of philosophy Now it’s just acceptance and the best way to heal or solve inner problems is accept and reflect for the future not making the same mistakes Amazing video :)
Hey sir, I have a sister that's having a hard time in life right now and your video really helped her out. I can tell it had really touched her to her core (as a HSP myself). I would like to thank you for sharing this message, and you just earned a subscriber! THANK YOU SIR. From the bottom of my heart ♥
Wow. First off, you have a very lovely voice that I could listen to all day. You explained to the world exactly how I wish I could explain. I have so much information from 5 years old until now. Tragically put in a box and put on a shelf. I have never been to a therapist and stayed for more than 5 months. I just haven’t felt like I’ve been heard. I pay attention to every little motion they make and I take it home with me and sit on it until I feel comfortable talking about it. Thank you for letting the world see and hear the voice of a HSP. I usually keep this gift to myself. My family would never understand
Thank you for this! It's so easy to get stuck in the role of the victim when you've experienced very painful things as a child and it's so important to remember that we have access to very different resources now as an adult and we CAN take charge of the situation we're in and we can make positive use of our traits and abbilities! We may have suffered a lot at times but it's up to us not to get stuck in that suffering. We can do this! 🙌🏻
Thank you so much!! 🥺 I really needed this ❤️ I am too extremely sensitive and I have indeed been hiding in the shadows in my cave. Thank you brother 🙏🏽
Hi Jordan this video scrolled my way..what a nice surprise. I'm A LOT of gifts all wrapped up in bubbly Lisa 🙂 from early age I identified with people who had passed on. My mom was smart and gave me pen and paper asap! Some childhood trauma but more about accepting people for who they are and seeing that they couldn't be who I wanted them to be. I have mostly shared my gift of empathy/compassion with seniors that seem to have a need to talk...talk about things they went through and never spoke of. It's a heavy responsibility and emotional. I have been by the side of seniors passing on and also family members. In my 20's bystanders started telling me I have this special warmth or openess that makes trusting me easy. I felt more accepted. I Love learning, helping, writing and digging deep. Life is a great journey. May the learning never stop 😁🙏
Thank you so much for this video Jordan! I have the HSP trait and currently exploring how I might use this to contribute to society in a meaningful way, after doing healing work for several years. Your message has been so empowering for me to hear right now 🤗
Thank you so much for this great advice, which is very supportive and proving! Somehow, probably guided by my inner wisdom or intuition, I've been doing it all my adult life. So I can say that it really works. High sensitivity, born out of childhood trauma, can be transformed into empathy, love and compassion towards others - both, those who also experience and suffer from it and those, who don't. And utilizing it in some worldly activity is the best way to make friends with yourself and the world. 🙏
Do you have any resources to recommend for further reading? Especially for the more mystical stuff that starts to happen with HSP as the swamp is emptied.

As an artist and a sensitive one I love creating commitioned art where all I need is just to make an eye contact with the client and I can download all that is needed for creating the Art that they desire. After the Art is complete every client goes Wow!!!! I usually dont tell them I read them through eye contact but I know it s a gift:) thank you for such brilliant explanation
I think everyone around me knew this about me before I did. I thought we were all built the same. I became a big target. Within a few conversations with someone they stated "That's why psychopaths are attracted to you" It hurt, but I knew she was right, I just had to figure out why. This video helps, but I'm not sure it's good for me to have friends yet. I had a few that I considered great through the years, but as soon as I showed any disappointment or set boundaries, everything fell apart. I don't want to hide my love away, but I don't want the devil to target me. Balance is illusive.
@@jordanthornton You are kind to thank me, but I feel like this was an explanation for why I'm not OK sharing myself. Not an especially great perspective.
Became pre-cognitive when I was 9 - it stopped when I was 10. It returned when I was 36, but only for one day. It is as natural as breathing. HSP - INFJ here, and my precognition was activated by extreme trauma.
It's a sadly common experience, but how wonderful that we have possibilities opened to us (even if they come from dark origins). Wishing you well, Caroline.
Thank you. English is not my main language and I listened to this video while cooking. Most of what you said I didn‘t understand because I was cooking but at one point I suddenly started to cry. I‘ve been living with constant numbness, stress and awkwardness for at least 2 years now and am slowly starting to heal. Alot of days I spent just laying in bed and wanting to die, not speaking to anyone. 2 years long I dissassociate everytime I‘m talking to someone, doesn‘t matter stranger or family. I lost friends along the way. I felt like I‘m „different“, but not in a good way, more in a „wrong“ way. Idk even what I want to say anymore but just thank you. I cried and it helped me.
Timmy, I'm sorry to hear about these difficult elements in your journey - that's awful, but nonetheless am pleased that this video made a positive release for you. Many more resources on the channel for you to gain value from, if you're interested - the books are excellent too.
I relate massively to this Jordan. I see the silly games people play at work and at the gym. I am 40 now with no qualifications, a job and family but I feel I could help people. Where could I start on this path? I have wanted to do something for years but just don't know what to do. Thanks in advance and keep up the amazing work your doing X
Thanks for asking - I truly see self-taught reading and education as the best path for most people. Defining your field of service (which profession) and then doing the online research to find the best 20 or so books you can read and going through them with curiosity is a cost-effective way to go about patient career shift when you have a family. I've seen it work, but it naturally requires the research discipline to find at least 90 minutes per day to study and learn about new possibilities - the rest tends to fall into place as we learn more, and continue with patience and consistency.
@@jordanthornton Thank you, yes I definitely haven't been reading enough. The saying "no" has been a real issue with me as well, I find that very hard. I have alot of work to do
@@thedentistbakery2010 Also look into open courses for online learning! A lot of fantastic universities - I’m talking MIT, Harvard, and many more - offer real classes online for free.
@@DannyD-lr5yg you're absolutely right, that's what I've done it's helped get the brain onto study etc and to come up with some options of what next. With support and encouragement it's all there.
Jordan…you take it to the edge but not quite far enough. I am an extreme HSP and rather than maneuver in the world to share my talent, I allow the world to maneuver in me. Requires unyielding release and working through letting go childhood traumas etc, and then being still every day, not for yourself but for the world. When you are clear, and have chosen being in the deep service to others, and choose that rather than chasing the money, you will find the entire environment, no matter how distant, organizes around carrying your clarity through service. I am always vigilant through reading and watching current worldwide events unfold, and able to feel and watch how my transition carrie’s and serves in the wind. Also, you;will find if you are deeply sincere, and not manipulating your self, that unusual people and events and circumstances will knock at your door unsolicited to provide you with the money and resources to continue unencumbered by the electrical interference and noise. Sting: “poets priests and politicians are jamming my transmission”….rise above lower level transmissions, ride the altitude and unwaveringly serve through your gifted transmission through an open still heart, not once in awhile, but as a choice to always be, and be very careful to “verbally” share this with anyone as their reaction, no matter how advanced, usually is that it is not possible. I am a living, breathing example that it is if you cultivate this gift beyond the disbelief, noise and choice of a world defaulted to the fear of death, and self centered pursuits of the evanescent. Peace, and move beyond telling folks to descend into the noise to share gifts, and help them rise above and share from beyond the stars. Starts with you
Nice! I have a diagnosis of schizo affective disorder. I find your videos very helpful and I appreciate that you imply that it's okay to want to be in the creative-mystical energy.
Sullie, you are most welcome. There is certainly plenty of avenues for growth for somebody on the schizoid / schizophrenic spectrum which are well worth talking about. I’ve found great benefits from focusing on physical fitness & creative/mystical output combined - head in the clouds but feet FIRMLY on the earth (helps with dissociation tendencies) 🌲 Wishing you well!
Jordan, I have only today watched your first video and I subbed. Then this video emerges on my feed. I can totally relate to what you have described and I have reached the same conclusion as you. I have recognised that the childhood/teenage trauma I went through is one of the greatest blessings of my life as it equipped me with the unique personality and skill set that is indeed very hard to find. I too have decided to make it my greatest strength and use it to do what provides meaning to my life. Thank for your invaluable insights. I am with you on this journey of self-exploration.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. 🙂Why not indeed! I have started moving sheepishly towards this while cleaning houses. You put a new spark in the old motivator, well really thanks for just being the vessel for this instance of the universe continually affirming that path for me 🙏😊
Having C-PTSD from childhood trauma has caused me to be highly sensitive. I am in intense therapy and you definitely know exactly what you are speaking of on this topic.
I couldn’t be more thankful this video popped up being someone that’s been through very traumatic situations in life as a child. Timing really is everything. I’ve had people tell me “oh you’re so sensitive what’s wrong with you. You need tougher skin” I’ve also had people tell me, “your sensitivity is such a gift, I wish I could be as empathetic as you” I appreciate how you put it in the way by saying that being a HSP doesn’t have to be a positive or negative thing although it can go both ways. It was super eye opening as I’ve been confused on how I feel for myself and have let it flow heavy in both direction reaching levels of low depression and levels of high spiritual hunger. It’s been 4 years of trying to connect the sensitive and spiritual parts of me and this video is really helping me take the next steps. I’ve always wondered where this spiritual hunger in me came from I feel it so strong so it’s nice to know there are people out there experiencing the same things. ❤ much love and gratitude! 🙏🏼 wishing you a beautiful Journey through life Jordan. Also I agree your voice it’s so calming and easy to listen to. Appreciate you!
A question about parts work: Do you think that the amount of structural dissociation matters for approaching parts work? We're diagnosed with DID and haven't found a Therapist who's comfortable working with that so far. We've also heard that you shouldn't do parts work alone, especially when you have more severe structural dissociation. But since we don't really trust the mental health system and hate waiting around, of course we still did and it has felt very helpful!
I've screenshotted your question because this is an important topic and I want to cover it in more detail within a few weeks - will do my best. In the meantime, I've grown to believe that there are alternative ways to heal DID which aren't being talked about too much - parts work is one of those tools which is clearly very useful but also potentially risky depending on levels of structural integration. I'm glad that you're finding your path, and would also encourage working towards a central egoic identity or 'Self centre' which can exist without denying your multiplicity. Focusing on creating a unifying centre and a sense of 'I' - which all the literature points towards as being the major healing ideal! Will need a full video to explore this idea - watch out for it!
@@jordanthornton We definitely have had moments of a feeling of unitedness by now 🤔 but more similar to the feeling you get when singing in a choir and your voice mixes into one song with the others. Or the feeling of oneness that you can get when doing a long Metta meditation. Especially in moments of flow, when we've been working together on a project 😄 Most of also tend to ground towards our body's heart, so at least we have something like a shared physical center. We've tried working with IFS, but there it feels like every alter has their of *self* version that still feels like just them. Definitely looking forward to hearing more about your take on this 😄
Fortunately I have at least 20 videos on this topic on my channel - just search for trauma and you’ll find plenty of resources and book recommendations. My inner work essentials series is 52 episodes and available for free on this page! Wishing you the best 🌲
Thank you for your insight into the world of a highly sensitive person. I’m watching this suffering from a period of burnout at the moment. Taking that much needed break from the over stimulation that can overwhelm us. I came across your video and I look forward to seeing more of what you have to say as your beautiful soul drew me in.
Appreciate your compliment, but maybe not the most appropriate comment on a video where I’m discussing sensitive topics - not the time for sexiness, as I’m sure you understand 😅
@@jordanthornton please accept my sincere apologies,absolutely no intention to offend you!🙈your content is highly appreciated,dear Jordan!!! REGARDLESS!!!😘
As a highly sensitive person I have spent many thousands of dollars and a good many hours with therapists. I've taken all kinds of prescription medications, and drank like a fish trying to self medicate. What has worked is a type of acupressure/hypnosis therapy, and it works quickly. Just one trip and two hours, a cornucopia of symptoms, 'isms, tics, and a mountain of anxiety was lifted. Knowing what caused the high sensitivity in my childhood has been great, I now have long haul COVID, and that triggers a fair amount of anxiety and sensitivity. Again, I saw my therapist for acupressure and hypnosis. This time the emotional healing took longer, a few days, but it worked.
Ohhh, I wondered this and now it's confirmed... Very traumatic childhood, made me who I am today. Very sensitive, yes. If things were different then, but then again who would I be today? So first of all my past shaped me, I'm very proud of myself, strong and getting stronger, standing up for myself. Secondly, I used to apologise for my sensitivity (really?), so timid, and now... my sensitivity is me strength, no more apologising for that. Thirdly my spiritual side is developing as I grow older, and spirit has always been there to guide and support me. Very grateful. It's okay to be sensitive and if it bothers someone that you are sensitive, well plenty of people who love who you are...love and light ❤️
Wow, thank you for this video. I’ve always been bothered by how intensely I feel emotions & the energy of others. Sometimes I remember painful memories or think back to something horrible I’ve read or seen and I’ll have vivid pictures/sounds in my inner world. I take on the pain if someone around me has a headache or stomach ache. It’s so easy for stories of suffering to completely ruin my day, bringing flashbacks from time to time. It’s weird because I feel like I’m disassociated in a major way from the world and people in general but I’m still so tuned into everything. It’s deep, physical pain and I feel drained, trapped and exhausted constantly. I’m just now starting to learn about highly sensitive people want to start developing ways to better control and use my sensitivity in ways that will benefit my emotional and mental health and other people around me. Much love to everyone who’s trying to find peace 💗
Wow. The timing of this video popping up for me is insane! I've been doing a lot of self work and had to hide away from the outside noise to be able to hear myself. Recently I've realized it's time to relearn how to function in the world but doubt my strength. The phrase "make your (perceived) weaknesses your strength" keeps popping into my head. I've been feeling drawn to work with people in a trauma informed way. Hearing you say professionalize your gifts sent a little jolt into my belly and my insides said, "See?" Thank you for this bit of outer confirmation.
I try very hard not to box myself in a category, but I can't help thinking this video resonates strongly with me. As well as being a bit apprehensive about this box, I also feel relieved that there are many others with similar experiences and I somehow ended up on the right path career-wise. I am truly grateful for this video.
I appreciate you taking the time to comment and reach out - thank you, and good luck on your next steps. I hope the videos on this channel continue to support you 🌲
I appreciate you making these videos. I've done a lot of research and thinking about these topics and you seem to be one of the few who are willing to go all the way to the darkest depths. I hope one day our paths will cross and we can talk about these topics. All the best to you. @@jordanthornton
I don’t know how to put this into words but I am ON this path of creative and therapeutic potential and agree that finding the balance is key. This spoke to me (disassociation as a result of childhood overstimulation) and also reminds me to not use it as a crutch, but to spread my wings. This has been my calling lately and this video was a beautiful corroboration. Thank you, brava and great channel. I wish you great success 🎉
I saw your video on my feed. I fit your characterization of an hsp very closely, and you’ve definitely given me so much to think about. I’ve heard that one of the traits of hsp is sensitivity to the differences and intensity of light and sound. I appreciated your senstive background and beautiful face, your calm voice
*1-1 Mentorship Information: Price & Structure (Maximum Capacity = 20 Clients Per Year)*
It's an absolute pleasure to film these TH-cam videos, and I feel fortunate to receive an abundance of meaningful messages every week, but I am unfortunately faced with the disappointing reality of turning away the vast majority of people who want to work together.
I have significantly limited availability and can only support twenty people per year because I do not offer one-off calls or drop-in consulting sessions.
Twenty individuals might not sound like maximum capacity, but the last few years of teaching have taught me the importance of maintaining tight energetic boundaries if I want to keep uploading these free videos in addition to serving my current clients to the best of my ability in 2024.
To minimise confusion and enhance transparency, I've spent several hours writing this ridiculously long comment to help you decide if my Inner Work Mentorship is the right choice for your development & what you could reasonably expect from working closely together.
Please take the time to read this service description before contacting me on Instagram… or feel free to stop reading right now if you’re not interested in my fees, session structure, client expectations, etc.
...
*READ BEFORE SCROLLING FURTHER:*
I'm interested in long-term change and structural transformation, which is why I've never offered one-off sessions.
Complex issues cannot be resolved in a few hours, but we likewise need to define an upper limit for containment and collaboration.
I've learned that deep and enduring self-integration requires at least four months of immersive effort. Why four months? It's enough weekly contact for us to work through multiple complex issues and developmental possibilities, but short enough to mitigate against unconscious co-dependency and motivational stagnation.
I'm currently accepting a maximum of two new clients per month - message me after reading the following section to check my availability.
...
*HOW I WORK & WHO I WORK WITH*
Unlike other coaches and teachers who take an understandably more relaxed approach to healing and integration, my mentorships are characteristically intense.
This is a highly-demanding, high-investment process which requires our consistent combined effort over a period of four months.
If we were to start working together, I would reasonably expect you to be excited to show up for a minimum of 10+ hours of self-motivated transformative practice per week (daily reading, fitness routine, creative exercises, spiritual reflection, etc.) while also maintaining full-sobriety (no drink, no drugs, no cigarettes, no vapes).
These strict standards of discipline and sobriety are plainly unsuitable for most people in most situations - even genuinely motivated individuals who resonate with my TH-cam videos may not be the right match for four months of structured mentorship.
If you want to get deeper, I've noticed that there's a certain type of ‘temperament' & 'timing’ to get the most out of me.
I'm interested in alert, creative and purpose-driven individuals who aspire to exceptional standards of self-maturation and would enjoy the feeling of going through week-on-week of progressively stacked transformative experiences for a third of a year: my ideal client is somebody who is willing to bring forward their internal complexity with a sense of courage and transparency with the intention of nothing less than full-spectrum transformation & rapid acceleration on their personal path.
I am yet to discover another supportive figure who offers something comparable to this mentorship: a four-month, structured yet flexible 1-1 container which is simultaneously therapeutic, academic and action-oriented; with primary focus placed on tangible improvements in your felt sense of self-knowledge and self-integration; in addition to making consistent and meaningful progress towards your unique goals and mentorship aspirations.
I prioritise contact, compassion and accountability, which means that your work never really 'ends' at the end of your session. You can reasonably expect to be fed dozens of customised reading suggestions and follow-on perspectives outside of the formal sessions via friendly and informal messenger contact, where I am active and available four days per week to cultivate an intimate personal connection while likewise enhancing your positive momentum via accountability check-ins and additional support as required.
By way of conclusion for what feels like an extraordinarily long comment and service description, I feel compelled to once more emphasise that working directly with me is unrealistic for most people in most situations.
I often support people who are accustomed to wrestling with the emotional challenges associated with working through complex wounds in previous therapeutic relationships before we begin our coaching work together. Even individuals without 'hard trauma' can expect moments of pressurised darkness and heaviness during periods of shadow contact as you begin to restructure your personal unconscious. We will be exploring your psyche and soma at scale and depth, and it will be your responsibility to keep me informed about the emotional texture of your internal reality, especially if you encounter negatively charged experiences, and I will of course do everything in my power to support you through the hard times as we integrate the darkness and move forwards together.
TH-cam is a wonderful place for me to share free research resources and offer accessible inner work invitations; my private mentorships, however, are the place for collaborative partnership and emotional security as we identify, navigate and restructure oftentimes confronting and challenging conscious and unconscious physical, emotional and mental material.
Ultimately, this is a highly-demanding but highly-rewarding process which requires the best of our shared intentions.
...
*SESSION STRUCTURE & FEES:*
The total fee for an Inner Work Mentorship (including 12 x 2 hr sessions) is £7,400 GBP or approximately $9,400 USD. This is my only coaching programme, and my mentorship pricing is liable to adjustment over time.
Each private session lasts two hours, and is facilitated via Telegram video call at an ideal time for both of us. Your mentorship extends over a linear four-month period, with a total of twenty-four hours of structured session time, in addition to four days per week of unlimited messenger availability for accountability updates, voice note exchanges and informal calls upon occasion. I do not work on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays, but I am fully-available across all timezones for regular calls and messenger contact on Thursday - Sunday.
If you’ve scrolled this far, and resonate with what I’m offering, I invite you to message me on Instagram. It would be my pleasure to start exploring your goals and intentions in real-time.
IMPORTANT: I am an intentionally independent coach, and not a licensed therapist or associated with any professional bodies or coaching institutions, and therefore enjoy the freedom to collaborate with my clients across all areas of life in an intimate, direct and highly involved coaching style. I work with no more than twenty people per year, and am currently accepting a maximum of two new clients per month. I also manage my own inbox and do not use automated systems or employ people to pretend to be me on Instagram, which means that it usually takes four to six weeks for me to respond to new messages and begin the interview process. Although my approach takes time, I hope you ultimately appreciate my personal emphasis on authentic and confidential communication from the very beginning of our relationship. I once again encourage you to message me immediately if you want to start working together within the next two months - bump yourself to the top of my inbox, and I’ll send you some voice notes to get our conversation started.
Could you please tell me what qualifications you have? Academic one that makes you trained in giving out this kind of mentor ship program. Didn't find that info
@@khaulam100 This is my own programme that I have been refining for the last three years and delivering to dozens of clients - will work on formalising this process to teach other coaches and professional supportive figures in the coming years. Thank you for asking!
Well said Sir.
💚Wow!!! You sound like you know your shit! Im impressed. I am a lifetime healer of childhood trauma....plugging away!!!
I know my way out is to choose to see the beauty around me at this point! The beauty in all situations!
Having my mom complete suicide has helped me to not take myself too seriously and to see that each move I make is seen through the lense of Love or Fear. It helps me to choose Love more often. ( Thanks Emmanuel🙂)
I wish you well on your beautiful journey here. Thanks for sharing all that you know and I'm sure helping alot of people ready for your message!
Love and Light💚
I am a natural born empath. I had a horrible childhood and became an addict. I got clean and went to nursing school. The last 2 years I've worked as a long term care nurse. I feel it is my calling to care for people in the last years of their beautiful lives. I have such a deep connection to those I care for. My heart is full bc of them.
Thank you for doing this work, it's such an important profession.
So glad to hear this🥺💛
This is the first video of yours that was thankfully and unexpectedly placed on my TH-cam feed... And, Im not sure if anyone has told you this before but..... You have an amazing voice lol its extremely soothing frfr If you dont do guided meditation videos.... Please, consider doing so bc they'd be awesome
Gratitude for the algorithm! Great to connect with you, Jessica. You may not be the first person to tell me this either hahah
@@jordanthornton SAME AND YES!
Same and I'm an HSP. Needed this!
Same! Thank you 🙏🏼
My first thought exactly
Just like Jung said - it is not what happened to me, it is what I make of what happened. It is not being sensitive, it is what I make out of being sensitive. I am HSP with trauma and spiritual hunger but I am many other things as well 💕
Great perspective - I agree.
Borderline personality disorder is characterized in one degree as the ability to sense other peoples emotions and micro expressions accurately better than the general population. They are considered “emotional burn victims” that react with extreme negativity when triggered. They also are linked to childhood trauma. I wonder how many people diagnosed with bpd really are just hsp or if it’s two faces of the same coin. Bpd is such a constricting diagnosis and I hope if you have that label you can move past it! You are not bad!
Good description, likewise agree that most people can move past these labels! Wishing you all the best.
I have bpd. It's beyond hard to get thru.
It's indescribable to most people who don't have it.
I have pyrrole disorder (rare), BPD, and severe dissociation disorder. If I could tell you, I felt God and I manifested my money. Now I’ve been going through the worst karma. I’m so sad. I heard and saw amazing things in my sleep, I still do as I try to regrow and retrain my psyche. Tarot cards, manifestation, meditation, it’s all amazing. Recommend
I can't stand living like this so hopefully I can figure it out. 😥 BPD ain't no joke.... 💔
@@Perfect.Presence.Pisces it’s really not and I’m so sorry you feel like that. One thing that made a big difference for me was making sure my hormones were balanced. Start tracking your moods and your cycle and see if there’s a pattern
I had a full blown mental breakdown due work grievance, bereavement and childhood trauma. Within one month of my breakdown I resigned from my job applied for my dream job and got it, then started a counselling course to help others. Before I used to help everyone but myself, get mad then burn out and take narcotics. Please be kind to yourself.... being a hsp requires a mass amount of self love that you didn't receive as a child. Love this channel
I agree that self-love is truly important, especially for HSP. Thank you for sharing this perspective.
Thank you!
I’m so glad I found this video. I get drained in stimulating environments. I’ve never fit in anywhere. I’ve had a childhood trauma and I’ve spent most of my life trying to recover. I’m creative but been laughed at for it. I’ve been hospitalized for clinical depression. I am still proving doctors wrong. I am working on the healing. Thank you as I needed to hear this.❤
Rachel, I understand. Thank you for doing your continued healing work. Sending strength and support for your next steps.
Walking in Nature and along waters will be helpful 💚
Funny the creative part.
Most every sensitive person is deeply artistic in some way.
It's nice to see that emerge as we set boundaries and look deeper into ourselves. Shame to think we gradually suppressed our nature to appease the jealousy and envy of the haters.
@@laurafeher9694 definitely, daily walks in the park work for me, they do wonders truly
I totally understand the creativity part 👍
“The Drama of the Gifted Child.” Very helpful book for me.
Great book - I agree. Alice Miller has some excellent material.
Do you think that you could talk more about the highly sensitive persons way of viewing and taking responsibility? I am myself an hsp and my childhood has definitely affected how I handle responsibility. Sometimes it seems like there's no middle ground, either I take on way too much, or I can't take on anything at all because I feel overwhelmed and become overstimulated. It's hard to balance it. I found this video very interesting. Thank you for talking about such a complex topic. I haven't experienced that many people take the hsp trait very seriously, but it can really be a real struggle to have this trait so this video felt like a warm hug, thank you.
I've screenshotted your question and will likely return to this topic within a month, thank you! Worth giving a more detailed exploration, likewise feel there is more to be said which is difficult to summarise in one video or a few comment responses!
Short answer: There is a middle ground, and we are wise to condition ourselves to beware the extremes - which is mainly a question of healing the nervous system. Look into polyvagal theory, somatic therapy and bioenergetic therapy if you're looking for research. Alexander Lowen, Peter Levine and Allan Schore are all great to read.
Wishing you the best in the meantime,
Wow me too. Burn out to dead then burn out again..
Wow….
"Know thyself"
More specifically, learn your limits and what it feels like in your body when you're approaching them. Don't go past them unless you also allow yourself double the recovery time.
@@JeffCaplan313 thanks so true. Going to try and live this out
Your voice alone is so soothing Jordan. As an HSP I appreciate your tone and delivery. I can feel your healed and embodied communication.
You're so welcome! Tone is everything.
When we commit to make the time and space to listen to ourselves and what we need, this is the exact realization we come to as HSPs. We are not “bad” or “weird” or hard to love. If anything we have an abundance of love and light to give to the right people in the right circumstances. I very much needed to see this video to remind myself that this skill set is useful and should not be wasted in this life time. Thank you for this.
Abundance to give, and the responsibility to learn where, who and how much. High sensitivity is well worth cultivating and shaping into something life-affirmative for others, I agree Kelly. Happy to have connected today and appreciate you taking the time to write this beautiful comment.
I'm currently reading "The courage to be disliked", a book which explains Adlerian psychology in a dialogue form. It really challenges the victim mindset, which I have also repeatedly fallen into. I can recommend it, but it might be wise to read it slowly and let the matter sink in. At first it was quite shocking to me, but it provides a very interesting perspective to this victim mindset.
I'll check this out, thank you - love Adler and his Individual Psychology!
Legit! It’s a path of emotional maturity and getting one’s spiritual balls to drop. Developing secure attachment within one’s soul is earned by facing the world in our naked feelings and around people that mirror the terrors of our childhood…the nervous system WILL develop and embracing all our feelings ….and the feelings of others without getting consumed or lost is wholeheartedly possible. Peace.
‘Secure attachment within one’s soul’ - I love this, well phrased!
How does one push past the sheer terror at showing our naked feelings, when the times we did in the past were devastating, humiliating?
@@kathylovesmk I've screenshotted this question, and will do my best to make a full video response - vulnerability after trauma is an important topic. Thank you for asking.
@@jordanthornton Thanks so much, I look forward to seeing it!
@@kathylovesmk me too
It’s amazing how the right people are presented to you at the exact time you need them. ❤
Happy to connect in what seems to be a timely moment for you!
That’s the intuitiveness of HSP’s at work! We (especially high level HSP’s or Empaths) have a greater level of consciousness due to more active insulas, and our differently wired and working brains! This is an innate trait, something 20% of us are born with! It’s up to us to ban together to teach the other 80% and lead them to understand that emotions are what make us ALL human! We HSP’s are Deep Processors and able to solve great problems in life. Although we may have experienced trauma in our past, our traumas don’t define us! Our HSP Does though and are special gifts that we All need to embrace to help lead the rest of the world to be a kinder and more peaceful place. Best to All HSP’s! You are ALL very special and need to remember this! Many take us for granted, but it’s up to us to set strong boundaries and use our special traits to help others. Together we can change the world for the better! Wishing Love and Light to ALL!🙏😊👍💞💥✨✨✨✌️
I think it’s incredibly important that you know, you have saved my life recently. I’m very grateful for you. Thank you so much for what you do.
Signing off for my weekly unplug & seeing your comment as the last interaction online for a few days. I’m happy to have helped, keep going - and make sure to get the books too. They’re excellent 🌲
I’m definitely a HSP, with a passion for art love of music , dance and creativity. This video helped affirm that, Thank you❤
Glad to have affirmed this for you - hope that you also feel guided towards potential future paths with professionalisation and full-time creativity, if that calls for you.
@@jordanthornton thank you, I definitely feel called , I think towards art and the spiritual interpretation of things. Always fascinated with human behaviors, even my own. So if I end up with some type of calling it would be towards those things
Hmm...what's 'art love'? Sounds kinky.
Your voice is very soothing. I agree with you. I am a HSP. I have suffered yet survived through a lot. So much that it brought my therapist into tears. The most interesting thing is, finding my voice, setting boundaries and seeing my strength.
Walter, I agree totally. Voice. Boundaries. Strength. Wishing you the very best with your process going forward.
@@jordanthornton Thanks a lot Jordan. That is very true. It is going well so far. 😀😀
Ach. You got me. You described my situation so well. I’m without a job right now and so scared of getting another because I’ve felt like I want to vomit every day I’ve worked since I joined the work force. I just feel incompatible with society with the amount of sensitivity that I have. So frustrating. But I do believe you that it’s a muscle I can work. Some days were a little bit better than others. At the end of the day I just want to get beyond the labels and into a life where I can show up and be useful to others and to myself :)
Great and empowered perspective, Calla. Getting beyond the labels into a more autonomous and individuated place - exactly!
This was the first video I've watched of yours when I was at the lowest point of my existence and you saved me and till this day I don't know how this happened. I don't know if you remember my comment before but your channel kept me alive when nothing else could. My life now took an unexpected new direction I could never imagined before. I'm optimistic and fully grateful for you. Thank you so much Jordan
I remember, and I started crying reading your comment just now. Thank you for sticking through the darkness and walking towards the light which was waiting for you. Well done 🌲
I had a lovely childhood and most loving parents but my sensitivity got exposed when i left home at 18 to study. The spiritual instinct was present before troubles began. I am 39 now and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. It has been nearly two decades of dealing with nervous disorders. Even without childhood trauma a sensitive personality can be a burden. Only a little bit of coaching at an early age could have saved me so much trouble.
Of many complication one interesting one is because of my sensitivity i was able to read into behaviours nobody else saw to predict the future. Often with uncanny success. This power is a double edged sword that takes one in the spiral of constantly trying to control the future because I know what is likely going to happen. Never lets your mind relax.
I’m sorry to hear these elements of your journey so far, but hope that this video and other resources feel supportive to your healing journey 🌲
Postscript: I am aware that some people will receive this video as being inconsiderate, insensitive or unnecessarily tough on HSP's.
It's true that sensitive people are 'built different'. I likewise remember how comforting it felt to first discover the terminology of 'empath' and 'HSP' - there is a temporary feeling of pseudo-liberation, but there is more inner work to be done.
Psychological labels are useful at the beginning stages, but they must be transcended as we individuate into further complexity. It's a foundation to be advanced beyond.
Sensitive people have a special skillset which I want to see amplified - unique challenges, unique opportunities. Full-time creativity and meaningful work in the helping professions appear as the most obvious and natural pathways for the HSP - it's my hope that you find these possibilities encouraging and empowering 🌲
I didn't find it too harsh, even a highly sensitive person needs a kick up the arse sometimes.
A call to action? Is very possibly the thing that this highly skilled (and sometimes completely terrified) bunch of mostly garden dwelling hermits need to realise we are here to use these skills in this lifetime not hide them or from them.
A call to action.
First step- stop hiding from people 👻
Thank you for the insightful words.
Never seen a video of yours before. It's truly inspiring. I used to be a psychologist but really burned out during a shitty divorce and domestic violence. I'm struggling to get back on my feet, I want to return to my profession, but I need to do it my own way, gently and self-employed, and with the confidence that my traumatic life can be transformed into gold.
Gently and self-employed is absolutely the way. Take on a small client load with people who you genuinely connect with and care about. Wishing you all the best on your comeback.
@@jordanthornton ❤ thank you, I'm touched by your response, much appreciated 🙏
I hope you can get back, after that experience of been abused you would be a wonderful help for other survivors. Heal well and come back. We need you!
Hi! I read your comment and it touched my heart for a reason. Let me say, you don't need to rush, feel okay to give yourself the time and love! You deserve to heal and be just who you are. You are already a big help for others, sharing your problems, being honest, showing vulnarablity is power and a gift. It can heal others. :) Never-ever underestimate that. :) And if you are returing on that path again (with a lot of wisdom), thats wonderful, but if not, then it's also ok and maybe you are just designed for another thing. Your are perfect the way you are. I hope the best for you!
This made me cry 😢
The Last 3 years I've worked part time, as a healer and clairvoyant counsellor as we call it.
2 weeks ago, I closed the physical part of my clinic. Where I've done all my healings, and most part of the clairvoyant sessions. The energy wasn't right there any more, and I couldn't make ends meet. But packing away my diplomas, made me cry. It was like packing away, a huge part of me. I haven't given up. For now I'm just doing readings and healings online. I need to gather some strength, and see clearly if I even need a new place. First time, I see one of your videos. Ment to be. Thank you! ❤🙏
Shalom, Salam, Peace. Quran [Last Testament]: We Will Surely Trial You With Your Wealth, Health And All You Hold Dear. We Give Glad Tidings To Those Whom Endure With Patience.
Stephanie, I'm sorry to hear this... but also encouraged by your mindset in this transitional period. I'm sure you're already finding your next steps. Sending you strength and support.
@@jordanthornton thank you 😊🙏
This is natural for clairvoyants, it’s called completion of one part of your journey. It’s not failure it’s completion. I just recently closed doors to all psychic readings to do TH-cam. I at first felt the same, like it was giving up a part of all I had been. But realised it’s just a part of your journey and now you are evolving into new doors opening up. Growth and evolving not endings. 😊
I hear you. As a healer myself (nurse) I was unfortunately in an accident and suffered multiple vertebral fractures. Has stopped me from doing the job I love, it’s like a huge part of my identity is missing. I do not feel like I am useful anymore. I have really had to look at the everyday giving, kindness, love etc that I give others and remind myself that I’m still important and I’m still helping people, just in a different way. Our kind of work is very draining, we give too much of ourselves unfortunately and we don’t realise until it’s too late. It’s your time to give yourself all of that compassion and love you have given others and direct it back into yourself xx hugs
You should definitely do guided medifation with that incredible voice ! I used my highly sensitive nature as a Social Worker, supporting so many families. In the end I burnt out due to giving all my energy and getting hardly any support for fifteen years.
I understand what you're saying - I'm sorry to hear about the burnout. I have a video on the 'Wounded Healer' which you might find useful - it talks about how to avoid these issues.
I subscribed today. I am also a sensitive person who experienced childhood trauma. I married an alcoholic and recently asked him to leave. I'm also a nurse who was very disturbed from "Covid" and have been in therapy for PTSD. Yesterday my therapist indicated I need to heal the childhood trauma and be the loving mother to the lost teenager within. I have set new goals to alter my career path within this next year and move to a quieter location (live a simpler life). I have always held onto the belief in the beauty of life, the goodness in humans, and my faith in God. Learning how to forgive has helped.
I appreciate your video.
I'm sorry to hear about some of these challenges, but pleased to know you're making steps in the direction you want to move towards. Thank you.
I needed to hear this today. Thank you. It's a constant struggle to feel and thrive in the spiritual world while being in a constant state of confusion as to why not everyone "gets it" like I do. Being misdiagnosed was not helpful either and was actually a huge hindrance to healing as it made me more vulnerable to the toxic people in my life.
I've subbed and am watching the next video! 👍
Nettie, you are most welcome. Glad to connect and many more impactful videos on the way 🌲
This absolutely perfect! I'm 66, finally in a space where I don't have to be so stressed to survive in this world (very long story) but have spent the last couple of years working hard to get that wonderful magical girl I used to be. She is finally back but backed by the years of learning how to live in this crazy world. I really had to shut that girl down to become a "success" in this world. I am finally in a place where I can write my book(s) about what I have learned along my spiritual path, and fine tune my abilities to "see" things. Thanks for this video!
Appreciate your attention and taking the time to comment, Sunrae. Thank you.
Thank you for this beautiful reflection. I used to believe that my highly sensitive trait was a curse because the emotions become unbearable at times. However, through deep shadow work, and psychotherapy I have finally embraced my sensitive nature 🥰💕
I can relate to these feelings, and understand that frustration you must have been through. Incredibly pleased that you've been doing the shadow work and self-therapy to show up in your power and step into leadership to support others doing the same!
You’re almost too beautiful to focus on your soothing voice and perfect words but after Decades of unquenchable spiritual hunger I learned from you what fueled it. Staying sober created thicker skin❤
Glad to hear that you’ve found centredness and peace on your path - wishing you the best with your next steps, truly 🌲
Jordan: I'm 29 years old and I'm finally at a place where I am optimistic about my sensitivity. Thank you for sharing this information with me. I believe I have found this video at the perfect time for me. I have done no schooling, have no career, and have never had a girlfriend outside of middle school. For first time ever feel that I can actually accomplish something if I set my mind to it! Now I just need to decide what to set it to
I’m a HSP who has gone through the healing process after child and adulthood trauma. I understood every single word you said. Now I sit surrounded in beauty, strong, authentic and wonder how I can use this new found self to help others and myself engage with life instead of hide from it. Well, time to take my walk (3 miles a day) where I will remove banana slugs from the trail so that they don’t get squished. 👍🏻 Thank you young man!
Rebecca, thank you - keep going and enjoy the walk.
I don't know how this came up on my feed. But I just commented on someone else who has borderline personality disorder.
Childhood trauma is significant.
But it includes so much more.
And I have always been beyond sensitive like no one else I've ever ever met since I can remember.
This word exhausts me constantly.
Although I am very social as an adult, I still get burned out quickly.
I live alone because I need so much alone time to unwind.
Appreciate this video.
Mahalo.
Sounds like you're finding new perspectives and healing clarity on a continual basis, beautiful. Wishing you well, Jennifer.
Wow, you are so articulate. You say much with few words. Thanks for sharing your insights.
Agnes, thank you! More videos on the way, and more verbal refinement to be gained.
Thanks!
Thank YOU! Massive appreciation - glad this helped!
It’s very difficult to stand up tall, and smile through all the tragedy and sensitivity and at the same time enjoy the most subtle moments of life while we are being thrown into this simulation which could be considered the race for survival… but we have to do it, and we have to be inspiring, we don’t have any other choice 😊 I hope I get to talk to you one day in the future.
We're talking right now - happy to connect! Beautifully worded comment and great energy you're putting out on your channel. Agree that we must find our way through tragedy and sensitivity - middle path.
Man you have such a soothing voice I could pass out listening to it
I’m blown away. I’ve never heard the term “highly sensitive people” previous to this video and yet it’s as if you described my life story. Of course the context is broad but nonetheless so apt. This not only gave me more insight but also helped me understand some big wins I’ve had mentally on this path I’ve been following the last year. Thank you so much for your work
Brendan, thank you brother. Great to see some like yourself finding value in an area of inner exploration which is easy for us to cover over as men!
Celebrating your external and mental health wins. Great lifts and channel dedication - strong example.
Your voice puts me in contact with my healthy masculine energy. Your insights have been very healing. Gracias Jordan
Truly my pleasure, thank you for being here too - stay steady in the new month 🌲
As a 10 yr old, I used to stand in the school corridor, looking at all the kids and things around, and ask myself “what’s beyond all this, I want real answers, what am I here for, in this world, around these people.” I always felt like my safe place is somewhere beyond places or people, as I felt emotionally deprived in my own family
I can relate to these kinds of experience, thank you for sharing. I hope you're well.
Hi Jordan, I have a son named Jordan who is a hsp. He is 22 and he has systematically dropped every friend that he made a connection with. Most of them had narcissistic traits. He is a Christian but has lost his spiritual connection with God due to health issues. He feels that God too has abandoned him. I pray for him daily. We are close but he doesn't want to bother me with his troubles. He doesn't know how to externalize his traits.
Melby, wishing you all the best with your family and your continued healing together.
Hi Melby..wondering if your son might see it that Now is the time to lean into God and not away. Maybe the health issue is just a learning lesson for your son. Sometimes it's a change of perspective and attitude. I can do this rather then I can't do this. Please hang in there and I will send prayers.
So much truth to what you're saying, and I definitely can indentify with alot of your insights as someone who's dedicated to the journey of deep healing. As my self-compassion grows stronger, I feel it's a very natural need to extend that love and care onto the world in some form. Self-healing is self focused for good reasons, but at a certain time, you reach that threshold and want to outsource that love. For me, it's reaching out to a community and volunteering. We might feel alone in our sufferings and it is true that we are to some extent, but we're so intertwined to a larger collective with other people who's also suffered to systematic abuse either in their personal relationships or otherwise it shows up in our lives. There's so much suffering out there and the world is longing for connection and community and true family to belong to. If you're without a family, know you're free to define what that truly means to you. Know that you have always a place in this world, there's always people who wants to help 💙 I wish for love and healing for everyone 🦋
Jenni, thank you for your beautifully written and thoughtful comment. I enjoyed reading this, and can tell you've been doing your work. Great message to be amplifying. Sending support for your next steps.
Thank you for changing my life for the better. I am glad you do what you do. I am glad I came across your video and very much look forward to your other work. I wanted you to know that you are making a big positive impact in my life mate. Thank you. A kid I was mentoring and tutoring when I lived in Beijing, my last day living in China, he said to me (paraphrasing a little bit): "I gave myself a Western name, Jonathan. I am going to go to Peking University and become a teacher, and go back to Sun Village (in the outskirts of Beijing), and help the kids (who live by themselves while their parents are in prison) like you are helping us." I am not changing my name from John to Jordan, but I am that kid thanking you (with a lot of gratefulness and appreciation) for the positive impact you are making in my life. Very thankful and very grateful for the work that you do. Thank you. :)
What a message hahaha - thank you John, truly appreciate your words and enjoyed reading this!
On a metaphysical level , you can also work on the aura and strengthen it and make it smaller so it's not blown out and picking up on the energy of others . You can visualize a sphere of mirrors surrounding you and state this mirror will deflect any negative energies that drain me , make me depressed , drag me under ....only energies that are of the highest frequencies can penetrate this shield of mirrors . Working on the solar plexus chakra and root chakra via visualization or reiki also works . Commanding energy is another one that works . You can command energy that isn't yours to be sent back to whomever it is from and command any energy taken from you without your explicit permission to be returned to you . Also clearing these energies with a pendulum , clearing any etheric cords works as well . If you make it a daily practice , you will definitely see tangible results . Visualizing white light clearing all toxic debris while showering also works . Lots of different methods can clear unwanted energy that empaths and HSP tend to absorb .
Nice esoteric practices, I can see the value in these in addition to the practical work. Thank you for taking the time to share, Agota.
@@jordanthornton My pleasure !
About three years ago I
started to pull myself out of a five year deep depression. I had been held down by of issues that left me depleted and feeling hopeless. I encountered a person with great positive energy. I slowly tried to put what little energy I had to steer my life away from anger and sorrow . Currently I'm filled with optimism and often joy. I try to relish the bounty I enjoy from a walk in nature, a sunrise or the kindness of strangers. In two years I have worked toward living a conscience life. I hope I acknowledge those who had benefited me. You sound like one of those souls. No judgement, no preaching just learning a different way if viewing the world.
Jim, keep going. You've got a great mentality.
Thank you for making this heartfelt content. It really resonates with me as an INFJ. I have strong HSP traits and yes, I had a severely abusive childhood racked with physical, sexual and emotional abuse for 10 years by a father and three older brothers. I ran away from home at 15 and spent a year homeless and doing LSD, mushrooms and peote cactus…At 16 years old I learn about Macrobiotics, transcendental meditation and yoga which saved me from self medicating with hardcore drugs and alcohol like so many people did in the 1970’s. Later on I learned Sylvia Mind control mediation. I feel blessed that my spiritual path came early to me. At 61 I feel like I am just getting to know myself since my children are all grown and out of my home. I feel blessed to find your channel. Thank you again.
I'm sorry to hear this, truly. I'm glad that you've found sanctuary on your spiritual path and have found a way to regain your centre.
you should try Jesus Christ… He can heal you and set you free truly. All you have to do is have faith that He died on the cross for your sins and rose again and the third day. You need forgiveness! Ask Jesus for forgiveness
Thank you. I’m not sure how common this is but the trauma itself had become a big part of my identity; old choices/ actions/ habits/ excuses were all products from it. Honestly, it felt as though everything I knew to be true in my life collapsed once the trauma was processed/integrated.
Was not expecting a fallout from healing- but here we are- learning to rebuild with gentle awareness and honest intention. Good luck everyone. ✨
Beautiful philosophy, and I'm glad you're finding your centre after trauma. Thank you.
We Are Spiritual Beings living a human experience that's the phrase that got me through a hard time
Useful framing for many people, but we also need to remember the importance of earthiness for the sake of earthiness. Wishing you the best, Michael.
I have found that what you are saying was a natural expansion within me once I realized I had no choice in my sensitivity as a child, did some acceptance & healing in my adulthood and then CHOSE to share my gift after doing deep work. I now prefere to work with children to plant and keep self-esteem intact, and also because they are less scary than other adults 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for sharing your truth through your videos. It's the first time I have seen one, and I hope to watch more....
Stephenie, I'm glad that you've found your centre in childcare and chidl-education work. It's a beautiful place to serve, and often aligned with sensitive women!
It's my pleasure to connect with you - many more videos to come and a whole 52 episode series on Inner Work Essentials already available on this channel if you're interested!
Thank you for bringing this up. This is one of my biggest challenges. It's as if I'm scared to be firm in case I show my anger and hurt someone so I usually avoid situations where I should really be setting boundaries and be respected.
Boundaries and appropriate expression, yes! Exactly.
This is refreshing I love this perspective. I have always been hsp along with what comes with it. When I was younger I align with everything you say. Through the years reading Ive come to teach myself how to be the best version for myself and my kids. Struggled between spiritual and grounded human life. So many great lessons. My kids are also my teachers. I will always be grateful to keep learning. This video has shown me how far Ive come. Thank you 💜
Thankful for you being here, appreciate your work immensely 🌲
Wonderful grounding voice 🙏 thank you for your wonderful way of caring. I found you for the first time today and I had to smile about the synchronizity that I was also wearing a wool hat like you while I was listening to you in my apartment. I found out that it gives me more feeling of comfort and boundaries when I wear something on my head. Sometimes such little things are helpful and make a difference.
EXACTLY. You know the feeling, Judith hahah
☺️ Dear Jordan, yes I know. During my amazing journey through the world of sensitivity it has developed that I got into the world of frequencies. When I get in contact with someone (personal or by message) I receive an individual very specific personal frequency signal from this person like a morse code. It appears behind my eyes as a movement with a clear structure. About this connection energetic transfers mostly begin to flow to bring back into divine harmony. I do energetic transformation as my work and when I work in the quantum field in general with a certain intention, many signals of people appear that resonate with the healing topic. They all join the circle and engage although they are not at the same place with me. It is a astonishing experience but I also have a lot to do to clear myself and to get back to the state of I am I and you are you, afterwards. I subscribed your channel now and feel excited about going the path together. 🌟🌠🍀🌻
It's really annoying noticing all the non verbals it does make you feel crazy, I'm totally with you with the hermit thing
Dani, I totally get it - but we can ground ourselves and hold those boundaries. Certainly gets easier with practice (although I do prefer hermit mode)
Something I have had to learn to do is, what is ok for me. Also who am I? Not what others say you are but who are you at your core. Own that part of you.
Erika, exactly. Authenticity and self-awareness are crucial, especially for sensitive and creative people.
*Want your own healing questions answered in the next episode? Here are the Inner Work themes and concerns which I am currently prioritising:*
- Trauma Healing & Trauma Release
- Parts Work & Subpersonalities
- Jungian Psychology & Archetypes
- Transpersonal Psychology / Healing
- Self Education & Research Suggestions
- Masculine / Feminine Dynamics
- Addiction, Recovery & Sobriety
In the spirit of doing this work together, and extending our genuine concern for others, I invite you to consider phrasing your question to serve on behalf of both yourself and the silent stranger across the ocean who is seeking the exact same answers as you, but might not be willing to get directly involved.
We experience our internal worlds independently, but we are remarkably interwoven at our essence. I find this zoom-out awareness connective and comforting, so I naturally welcome your individual perspective while also looking forward to watching this series unfold at the particular intersection between personal circumstances and broader collective challenges.
In terms of question boundaries and guidelines, these videos are not an opportunity for long personal essays or indiscriminate trauma dumping. Self-reflective writing is suitable for private journaling, but clearly inappropriate for a public video series. I hope this is obvious, but perhaps worth stating nonetheless.
*Question Length: I kindly request that you limit your question to a maximum of two concise sentences.*
Important: Comment replies do not show up in my notification box. Please post your question as a new comment on this video, otherwise I will not see your message.

@@omarlittle-hales8237 Please stop commenting on my videos. Thank you.
Thank you from the bottom of my highly sensitive heart. Really started to believe that I was not of this world, that I was unlucky to be an empath. You gave me a much better perspective.
Sending strength and support to compliment your sensitivity - keep going!
This is amazing, a perfect description/reflection on my actions/personality
Insane understanding and thinking outside the box
Empath traits nearly psychic
I was never gonna sit 1-1 with a random person opening up about my problems in my teens I started listening to Alan watts at around 17 a lot happend since than and I was crushed mentally
It helped me a lot isolating in solitude from 20-21 right now with a lot of philosophy
Now it’s just acceptance and the best way to heal or solve inner problems is accept and reflect for the future not making the same mistakes
Amazing video :)
Great comment - thank you for taking the time to share.
Did my friend, went to grad school and became a licensed mental health counselor. What a wonderful video; God bless. Thank you so much.
Fuck yeah - love to hear this. Keep doing amazing work, thank you.
Thank you so much for doing these videos
You are totally welcome!
WOW. This was the most divinely timed video for me.
Thank you for this wake up call.
You articulated it in such a grounded and clean way.
Beautiful
Kai, you got this brother. Happy to have connected at a timely moment for you.
Hey sir, I have a sister that's having a hard time in life right now and your video really helped her out. I can tell it had really touched her to her core (as a HSP myself). I would like to thank you for sharing this message, and you just earned a subscriber! THANK YOU SIR. From the bottom of my heart ♥
This message lands beautifully - thank you. I am overjoyed to hear that your sister found solace here.
Wow. First off, you have a very lovely voice that I could listen to all day.
You explained to the world exactly how I wish I could explain. I have so much information from 5 years old until now. Tragically put in a box and put on a shelf. I have never been to a therapist and stayed for more than 5 months. I just haven’t felt like I’ve been heard. I pay attention to every little motion they make and I take it home with me and sit on it until I feel comfortable talking about it. Thank you for letting the world see and hear the voice of a HSP. I usually keep this gift to myself. My family would never understand
Thank you for sharing, it sound's like you've learned much on your journey so far - keep going.
I don’t think anyone has put into words exactly what I’ve been feeling and going through during my lifetime. I really appreciated this 🙏🏾
Ian, this comment means a lot to me - thank you. I'm glad to have connected at what seems to be a timely moment for you!
Thank you for this! It's so easy to get stuck in the role of the victim when you've experienced very painful things as a child and it's so important to remember that we have access to very different resources now as an adult and we CAN take charge of the situation we're in and we can make positive use of our traits and abbilities! We may have suffered a lot at times but it's up to us not to get stuck in that suffering. We can do this! 🙌🏻
Thank you so much!! 🥺
I really needed this ❤️ I am too extremely sensitive and I have indeed been hiding in the shadows in my cave.
Thank you brother 🙏🏽
Keep going, the shadows and hermit cave will always be there when you desire respite

Hi Jordan this video scrolled my way..what a nice surprise. I'm A LOT of gifts all wrapped up in bubbly Lisa 🙂 from early age I identified with people who had passed on. My mom was smart and gave me pen and paper asap! Some childhood trauma but more about accepting people for who they are and seeing that they couldn't be who I wanted them to be. I have mostly shared my gift of empathy/compassion with seniors that seem to have a need to talk...talk about things they went through and never spoke of. It's a heavy responsibility and emotional. I have been by the side of seniors passing on and also family members. In my 20's bystanders started telling me I have this special warmth or openess that makes trusting me easy. I felt more accepted. I Love learning, helping, writing and digging deep. Life is a great journey. May the learning never stop 😁🙏
Thank you so much for this video Jordan! I have the HSP trait and currently exploring how I might use this to contribute to society in a meaningful way, after doing healing work for several years. Your message has been so empowering for me to hear right now 🤗
Empowerment and encouragement was the aim - giving you my best for your next steps!
Thank you so much for this great advice, which is very supportive and proving! Somehow, probably guided by my inner wisdom or intuition, I've been doing it all my adult life. So I can say that it really works. High sensitivity, born out of childhood trauma, can be transformed into empathy, love and compassion towards others - both, those who also experience and suffer from it and those, who don't. And utilizing it in some worldly activity is the best way to make friends with yourself and the world. 🙏
Do you have any resources to recommend for further reading? Especially for the more mystical stuff that starts to happen with HSP as the swamp is emptied.

@@jordanthornton thank you ❤️
@@i_vanta You’re welcome - happy reading!
You've given me so much clarity and the ability to understand what's up with me.
I hope that the videos on this channel continue to serve you - so much possibility this year, keep going.
You´ve touched my heart and soul. I feel understood. 💗 thank you, Jordan, for your encouraging and inspiring messages! Bright blessings to you. 🍀
Sabine, you are so welcome - glad this video helped, wishing you the best in your next steps.
As an artist and a sensitive one I love creating commitioned art where all I need is just to make an eye contact with the client and I can download all that is needed for creating the Art that they desire. After the Art is complete every client goes Wow!!!! I usually dont tell them I read them through eye contact but I know it s a gift:) thank you for such brilliant explanation
Beautiful message to read, sounds like a marvellous process, Anastassia.
I think everyone around me knew this about me before I did. I thought we were all built the same. I became a big target. Within a few conversations with someone they stated "That's why psychopaths are attracted to you" It hurt, but I knew she was right, I just had to figure out why. This video helps, but I'm not sure it's good for me to have friends yet. I had a few that I considered great through the years, but as soon as I showed any disappointment or set boundaries, everything fell apart. I don't want to hide my love away, but I don't want the devil to target me. Balance is illusive.
Great perspective, Cassandra. Thank you for sharing.
@@jordanthornton You are kind to thank me, but I feel like this was an explanation for why I'm not OK sharing myself. Not an especially great perspective.
Became pre-cognitive when I was 9 - it stopped when I was 10. It returned when I was 36, but only for one day. It is as natural as breathing. HSP - INFJ here, and my precognition was activated by extreme trauma.
It's a sadly common experience, but how wonderful that we have possibilities opened to us (even if they come from dark origins). Wishing you well, Caroline.
I'm an HSP, so thank you for this video!
You are most welcome - good luck with your next steps 🌲
Thank you. English is not my main language and I listened to this video while cooking. Most of what you said I didn‘t understand because I was cooking but at one point I suddenly started to cry.
I‘ve been living with constant numbness, stress and awkwardness for at least 2 years now and am slowly starting to heal. Alot of days I spent just laying in bed and wanting to die, not speaking to anyone. 2 years long I dissassociate everytime I‘m talking to someone, doesn‘t matter stranger or family. I lost friends along the way.
I felt like I‘m „different“, but not in a good way, more in a „wrong“ way. Idk even what I want to say anymore but just thank you. I cried and it helped me.
Timmy, I'm sorry to hear about these difficult elements in your journey - that's awful, but nonetheless am pleased that this video made a positive release for you. Many more resources on the channel for you to gain value from, if you're interested - the books are excellent too.
I relate massively to this Jordan. I see the silly games people play at work and at the gym. I am 40 now with no qualifications, a job and family but I feel I could help people. Where could I start on this path? I have wanted to do something for years but just don't know what to do. Thanks in advance and keep up the amazing work your doing X
Thanks for asking - I truly see self-taught reading and education as the best path for most people. Defining your field of service (which profession) and then doing the online research to find the best 20 or so books you can read and going through them with curiosity is a cost-effective way to go about patient career shift when you have a family.
I've seen it work, but it naturally requires the research discipline to find at least 90 minutes per day to study and learn about new possibilities - the rest tends to fall into place as we learn more, and continue with patience and consistency.
@@jordanthornton Thank you, yes I definitely haven't been reading enough. The saying "no" has been a real issue with me as well, I find that very hard. I have alot of work to do
@@thedentistbakery2010 Also look into open courses for online learning! A lot of fantastic universities - I’m talking MIT, Harvard, and many more - offer real classes online for free.
@@DannyD-lr5yg thankyou, will do 👍
@@DannyD-lr5yg you're absolutely right, that's what I've done it's helped get the brain onto study etc and to come up with some options of what next. With support and encouragement it's all there.
Jordan…you take it to the edge but not quite far enough. I am an extreme HSP and rather than maneuver in the world to share my talent, I allow the world to maneuver in me.
Requires unyielding release and working through letting go childhood traumas etc, and then being still every day, not for yourself but for the world. When you are clear, and have chosen being in the deep service to others, and choose that rather than chasing the money, you will find the entire environment, no matter how distant, organizes around carrying your clarity through service.
I am always vigilant through reading and watching current worldwide events unfold, and able to feel and watch how my transition carrie’s and serves in the wind.
Also, you;will find if you are deeply sincere, and not manipulating your self, that unusual people and events and circumstances will knock at your door unsolicited to provide you with the money and resources to continue unencumbered by the electrical interference and noise.
Sting: “poets priests and politicians are jamming my transmission”….rise above lower level transmissions, ride the altitude and unwaveringly serve through your gifted transmission through an open still heart, not once in awhile, but as a choice to always be, and be very careful to “verbally” share this with anyone as their reaction, no matter how advanced, usually is that it is not possible. I am a living, breathing example that it is if you cultivate this gift beyond the disbelief, noise and choice of a world defaulted to the fear of death, and self centered pursuits of the evanescent.
Peace, and move beyond telling folks to descend into the noise to share gifts, and help them rise above and share from beyond the stars.
Starts with you
Great perspective - thank you for sharing.
Nice! I have a diagnosis of schizo affective disorder. I find your videos very helpful and I appreciate that you imply that it's okay to want to be in the creative-mystical energy.
Sullie, you are most welcome. There is certainly plenty of avenues for growth for somebody on the schizoid / schizophrenic spectrum which are well worth talking about. I’ve found great benefits from focusing on physical fitness & creative/mystical output combined - head in the clouds but feet FIRMLY on the earth (helps with dissociation tendencies) 🌲
Wishing you well!
@@jordanthornton thanks!
Jordan, I have only today watched your first video and I subbed. Then this video emerges on my feed. I can totally relate to what you have described and I have reached the same conclusion as you. I have recognised that the childhood/teenage trauma I went through is one of the greatest blessings of my life as it equipped me with the unique personality and skill set that is indeed very hard to find. I too have decided to make it my greatest strength and use it to do what provides meaning to my life. Thank for your invaluable insights. I am with you on this journey of self-exploration.
It's powerful, right? Happy to hear this brother, thank you for writing so eloquently - I enjoyed reading your perspective and relating personally.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. 🙂Why not indeed! I have started moving sheepishly towards this while cleaning houses. You put a new spark in the old motivator, well really thanks for just being the vessel for this instance of the universe continually affirming that path for me 🙏😊
Amanda, keep going - and move boldly into the direction you need to take. Sensibly and responsibly, of course 😉
That was powerful and it resonated, thank you
Leo, thank you - hope you enjoy the channel!
Having C-PTSD from childhood trauma has caused me to be highly sensitive. I am in intense therapy and you definitely know exactly what you are speaking of on this topic.
Jennifer, I'm glad that you're finding the support you need. It's important work, thank you.
I couldn’t be more thankful this video popped up being someone that’s been through very traumatic situations in life as a child. Timing really is everything. I’ve had people tell me “oh you’re so sensitive what’s wrong with you. You need tougher skin” I’ve also had people tell me, “your sensitivity is such a gift, I wish I could be as empathetic as you” I appreciate how you put it in the way by saying that being a HSP doesn’t have to be a positive or negative thing although it can go both ways. It was super eye opening as I’ve been confused on how I feel for myself and have let it flow heavy in both direction reaching levels of low depression and levels of high spiritual hunger. It’s been 4 years of trying to connect the sensitive and spiritual parts of me and this video is really helping me take the next steps. I’ve always wondered where this spiritual hunger in me came from I feel it so strong so it’s nice to know there are people out there experiencing the same things. ❤ much love and gratitude! 🙏🏼 wishing you a beautiful Journey through life Jordan. Also I agree your voice it’s so calming and easy to listen to. Appreciate you!
Appreciate you sharing some of your story and your warm words, thank you. Keep going.
A question about parts work:
Do you think that the amount of structural dissociation matters for approaching parts work?
We're diagnosed with DID and haven't found a Therapist who's comfortable working with that so far. We've also heard that you shouldn't do parts work alone, especially when you have more severe structural dissociation. But since we don't really trust the mental health system and hate waiting around, of course we still did and it has felt very helpful!
I've screenshotted your question because this is an important topic and I want to cover it in more detail within a few weeks - will do my best.
In the meantime, I've grown to believe that there are alternative ways to heal DID which aren't being talked about too much - parts work is one of those tools which is clearly very useful but also potentially risky depending on levels of structural integration.
I'm glad that you're finding your path, and would also encourage working towards a central egoic identity or 'Self centre' which can exist without denying your multiplicity. Focusing on creating a unifying centre and a sense of 'I' - which all the literature points towards as being the major healing ideal!
Will need a full video to explore this idea - watch out for it!
@@jordanthornton
We definitely have had moments of a feeling of unitedness by now 🤔 but more similar to the feeling you get when singing in a choir and your voice mixes into one song with the others. Or the feeling of oneness that you can get when doing a long Metta meditation.
Especially in moments of flow, when we've been working together on a project 😄
Most of also tend to ground towards our body's heart, so at least we have something like a shared physical center.
We've tried working with IFS, but there it feels like every alter has their of *self* version that still feels like just them.
Definitely looking forward to hearing more about your take on this 😄
I subscribed to you right away, your voice is so soothing you make my nervous system feel calm. I appreciate that.
Katie, welcome - happy to connect and appreciate your words 🌲
I would like to know more about trauma healing and trauma release ❤
Fortunately I have at least 20 videos on this topic on my channel - just search for trauma and you’ll find plenty of resources and book recommendations. My inner work essentials series is 52 episodes and available for free on this page! Wishing you the best 🌲
Thank you for your insight into the world of a highly sensitive person. I’m watching this suffering from a period of burnout at the moment. Taking that much needed break from the over stimulation that can overwhelm us. I came across your video and I look forward to seeing more of what you have to say as your beautiful soul drew me in.
Kiwi, thank you. I've seen your life-nourishing comments elsewhere here and I can tell you've got a great heart. Keep showing up in your power.
@@jordanthornton awww thank you :) yes I will!
damn... what a smooth voice! 💙we love your sexy british accent😘 please do some guided meditations! 😘
Appreciate your compliment, but maybe not the most appropriate comment on a video where I’m discussing sensitive topics - not the time for sexiness, as I’m sure you understand 😅
@@jordanthornton please accept my sincere apologies,absolutely no intention to offend you!🙈your content is highly appreciated,dear Jordan!!! REGARDLESS!!!😘
I could listen to you talk for hours. Such a deep, soulful, gentle voice.
Fortunately have many hours of videos available for this exact purpose hahah / thanks for commenting!
Absolutely brilliantly explained for all levels and for all needs..... thankful and extremely grateful!!!!
Kathy, it's my pleasure - wishing you well with your next steps on your journey.
Lovely message delivered in a warm and kind way. Beautiful voice.
Thanks for listening, hope it helped.
As a highly sensitive person I have spent many thousands of dollars and a good many hours with therapists. I've taken all kinds of prescription medications, and drank like a fish trying to self medicate. What has worked is a type of acupressure/hypnosis therapy, and it works quickly. Just one trip and two hours, a cornucopia of symptoms, 'isms, tics, and a mountain of anxiety was lifted. Knowing what caused the high sensitivity in my childhood has been great,
I now have long haul COVID, and that triggers a fair amount of anxiety and sensitivity. Again, I saw my therapist for acupressure and hypnosis. This time the emotional healing took longer, a few days, but it worked.
Ohhh, I wondered this and now it's confirmed...
Very traumatic childhood, made me who I am today. Very sensitive, yes. If things were different then, but then again who would I be today?
So first of all my past shaped me, I'm very proud of myself, strong and getting stronger, standing up for myself.
Secondly, I used to apologise for my sensitivity (really?), so timid, and now... my sensitivity is me strength, no more apologising for that.
Thirdly my spiritual side is developing as I grow older, and spirit has always been there to guide and support me. Very grateful.
It's okay to be sensitive and if it bothers someone that you are sensitive, well plenty of people who love who you are...love and light ❤️
Sounds, like such a healthy perspective - thank you for sharing, Sandra.
Wow, thank you for this video. I’ve always been bothered by how intensely I feel emotions & the energy of others. Sometimes I remember painful memories or think back to something horrible I’ve read or seen and I’ll have vivid pictures/sounds in my inner world. I take on the pain if someone around me has a headache or stomach ache. It’s so easy for stories of suffering to completely ruin my day, bringing flashbacks from time to time. It’s weird because I feel like I’m disassociated in a major way from the world and people in general but I’m still so tuned into everything. It’s deep, physical pain and I feel drained, trapped and exhausted constantly. I’m just now starting to learn about highly sensitive people want to start developing ways to better control and use my sensitivity in ways that will benefit my emotional and mental health and other people around me. Much love to everyone who’s trying to find peace 💗
You've got a beautiful perspective here, thank you for sharing. Keep bringing forward your sensitivity to serve yourself and others - great intention!
Wow. The timing of this video popping up for me is insane! I've been doing a lot of self work and had to hide away from the outside noise to be able to hear myself. Recently I've realized it's time to relearn how to function in the world but doubt my strength. The phrase "make your (perceived) weaknesses your strength" keeps popping into my head. I've been feeling drawn to work with people in a trauma informed way. Hearing you say professionalize your gifts sent a little jolt into my belly and my insides said, "See?"
Thank you for this bit of outer confirmation.
Happy to connect in what appears to be the perfect timing - wishing you well in your next steps.
You have to keep grounded.. it’s not a super power it’s an aspect of who you are
you have to try and balance it in a though world
Yes, grounding is massively important - I agree and mention this often too 🌲
I try very hard not to box myself in a category, but I can't help thinking this video resonates strongly with me. As well as being a bit apprehensive about this box, I also feel relieved that there are many others with similar experiences and I somehow ended up on the right path career-wise. I am truly grateful for this video.
I appreciate you taking the time to comment and reach out - thank you, and good luck on your next steps. I hope the videos on this channel continue to support you 🌲
I appreciate you making these videos. I've done a lot of research and thinking about these topics and you seem to be one of the few who are willing to go all the way to the darkest depths. I hope one day our paths will cross and we can talk about these topics. All the best to you. @@jordanthornton
I don’t know how to put this into words but I am ON this path of creative and therapeutic potential and agree that finding the balance
is key. This spoke to me (disassociation as a result of childhood overstimulation) and also reminds me to not use it as a crutch, but to spread my wings. This has been my calling
lately and this video was a beautiful corroboration. Thank you, brava and great channel. I wish you great success 🎉
Thank you for this beautiful comment, and I'm happy to have provided something of value for you here, Bonnie.
I saw your video on my feed. I fit your characterization of an hsp very closely, and you’ve definitely given me so much to think about. I’ve heard that one of the traits of hsp is sensitivity to the differences and intensity of light and sound. I appreciated your senstive background and beautiful face, your calm voice
Hannah, I'm happy to have connected. Thank you for your attention and I'm truly happy that this video has offered you something valuable.
thankyou for this, I needed this. Want to do some good in the world, then retreat. You said it so well how our turmoil can be a gift to others.❤
