About this event

Highly sensitive children and youth think and process deeply, have strong emotional reactions, notice subtleties, and have deep empathy–significantly more than their peers. Numbering at about one in five, these youngsters can become easily overstimulated, or overaroused, to use the psychological term.

Becoming so overstimulated makes emotional self-regulation terribly challenging for these kids. However, HSC and HSY’s emotional reactivity is also a superpower. They know, before anyone else, how to “read the room” because their empathy and emotional responsiveness is emotional leadership. Highly sensitive kids who are well regulated manage their emotional responsiveness with fluidity, but the nature of these children and teens is that they will spend time every day overstimulated and dysregulated if they are participating in western youth culture, including attending school daily, exposure to screens, and inadequate physical exercise.

Highly sensitive moms and parenting professionals, Alane Freund and Julie Cusmariu, will lead us in an overview of both the challenges and tools in parenting sensitive youngsters and weathering their emotional lives.

Intuition and timing with Julie Cusmariu, Montreal Intuitive Life Coach, Podcast host

Julie Cusmariu — Mon, 17 Dec 2018 15:56:58 +0000

From the podcast this week: Intuition and timing. Trusting the timing of things, relationships, creations, and life, really.

Am I pushing too much? Should I start this project now? Does it feel like I am forcing? Is your body offering you wisdom?

Can you sleep on it? Give it a a few days? It’s a practice. It’s a way of life. It’s a way of trusting and tuning into the wisdom of your body. Your body which is an energy receptor.

The audio on this episode had some breaks in it and therefore I am posting the video version which includes the full audio. You can listen to the audio version below but the guests were not audible.

In this episode:

I did two intuitive readings, spoke about connecting with the wisdom of our bodies and had a conversation with Taline Tarpinian, a burnout recovery coach, who shares how she relied on her intuition to go from burnout to wellness. May you benefit from this podcast.
