Description

Psychologist and retreat leader Heli Heiskanen invites you to rediscover your authentic self and embrace sensitivity as a unique source of insight, connection, and quiet strength. Drawing from more than twenty years of professional experience as a psychologist and her own profound lifelong path of inner growth, she offers a clear guide to deeper self-understanding and self-acceptance.

With warmth and honesty, the book explores key traits of high sensitivity such as emotional depth, empathy, intuition, and depth of processing. It introduces and defines the concept of protective shells: the subtle roles and patterns we adopt to stay safe but that often hide our real self. It offers gentle and practical guidance for recognizing and releasing these layers so your natural sensitivity can unfold as strength, authenticity, and inner balance.

Grounded in lived experiences, including voices and reflections from 181 people who shared their stories for this book, and profound psychological insight, this book is more than information; it is a clear, compassionate, and empowering companion for your journey toward embodying the Real Me.

Rediscover your authentic self, and the quiet power within your sensitivity.

Originally published in Finnish as “Herkkyyden voima – Opas omannäköiseen elämään” (2016) by Heli Heiskanen, valued by readers for its timeless insight and authenticity, is now available as an English edition for readers worldwide.
