Exploring the Power of Sensitivity (eBook)
18,00 € incl. VAT
A practical and grounded guide to understanding and living with sensitivity. Written from my professional experience as a psychologist and shaped by a wide range of lived experiences.
What if your sensitivity is not something to fix, but a genuine strength to embrace?
In Exploring the Power of Sensitivity – A Guide to Living as Your True Self, psychologist Heli Heiskanen presents a practical and in-depth guide to deepening your self-awareness, understanding high sensitivity, and gently uncovering the patterns that may be limiting your life.
Highly sensitive people make up around 20% of the population, men and women alike. Sensitivity is not a weakness, but a natural human trait that can become a real inner strength when understood and supported.
This English edition is based on my original Finnish book, Herkkyyden voima (The Power of Sensitivity), with selected updates for today.
A free gift for you: When you order the book directly from my store, you’ll also receive a free guided relaxation audio by me (value €8). Thank you for supporting my work as an author and making new creations possible.
