Module 1: Understanding Your HSP Brain — Relief for Your Emotional Brain

In this module, you’ll fully absorb a powerful truth: you are not alone. Sensory-processing sensitivity is a scientifically proven trait that exists in 20% of the population (as well as in other species!).

You’ll discover that Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) have unique brain differences that cause us to experience the world differently than almost 80% of the population. Understanding this trait is life-changing and begins the process of truly thriving in the world.

You’ll begin the calming, centering journey that will unfold over these seven modules. You may find yourself already experiencing more energy and feeling more joy as you step into a new sense of freedom and enjoy higher self-esteem.

And as you move into this higher state of being and empowerment, those around you will benefit too.

In this module, you’ll discover:

Brain differences in HSPs and how they can challenge and empower you
Why you experience the world the way that you do — and what makes you so important to the collective
Your resonance with this trait, its cultural impact, and physical and emotional examples of high sensitivity
How you can create more “brain space” by filling up your tank of positives
A practice to accentuate the positives of being an HSP (there are many positives!)
Module 2: Embracing & Supporting Your Gifts & Challenges as an HSP

You might be trying to live the same way non-sensitives live, which doesn’t take into account your unique processing need for more downtime and space.

The sense of overwhelm you likely feel is one of the biggest challenges of being an HSP.

Crowds, hectic situations, loud noises, bright lights, and times we feel rushed or watched can throw us into overwhelm. This sensory-processing sensitivity in the brain can show up both physically and emotionally.

As HSPs, we also tend to be over-givers and can become disappointed when others don’t reciprocate. Many HSPs receive messages — from the culture or our families —that there’s something wrong with our way of being.

In this module, you’ll discover:

Tools to balance your over-giving tendencies and cultivate self-compassion
A practice to develop an awareness of where your greatest challenges are coming from
How to get to know and prioritize your needs, the key to living your ideal life
How to lift off the layers of challenge to reveal and embrace your gifts (as an HSP, you’re likely to be highly compassionate and aware, an excellent problem solver, an attentive partner, a conscientious friend, and so much more)
Greater access to your generous, intuitive self
Module 3: Preventing Overwhelm — Preserve & Boost Your Energy

If you’re wondering why you’re so tired all the time or have a hard time keeping up with the demands of life, this module will illuminate not only the reasons, but also solutions.

You only have so much energy in your tank. And as an HSP, you need extra processing time — because you take in, and often give out, so much at one time.

One of the biggest challenges of being sensitive is an overloaded nervous system, overwhelming your body, mind, and spirit.

In this third class with Julie, you’ll learn how to track and preserve your energy to reduce the overwhelm and boost and maintain higher levels of balance.

In this module, you’ll discover:

The role your nervous system plays in overwhelm
An easy point system for tracking your energy — so you can preserve some of your precious energy for yourself
Practices and compassionate support to increase your brain focus, experience more patience, and regulate your overwhelming emotions
A brain-training skill that will equip your sensitive nervous system with “protective armor,” anytime you need a little calming or reassurance
How to begin developing healthy boundaries — and how to say “no” without guilt

Module 4: Brain-Training Tools & Self-Care Practices Customized for Sensitive People

When your emotional brain is over-activated, overwhelm happens…

Your fight-flight-freeze response may be activated. Irrational messages sent by your brain may feel real, as your adrenaline surges and your heart races. It can be difficult to think, access memories, or take in new information.

Self-care practices are essential, but doing what the majority does is unlikely to work effectively for most HSPs. In this module, you’ll discover tools and skills that specifically work for HSPs — so you can finally learn how to fully calm, restore, and rebalance your system.

Julie will share why your brain may tend to have a negativity bias — and what you can do to experience more optimism and joy.

In this module, you’ll discover:

A technique to reduce emotional reactions and turn your cognitive brain back on
The “Power of Positives” exercise — 3 to 5 positives can transform one negative in 15 to 20 seconds
A breathing technique that communicates to your brain that you’re safe
The key to exercising the parts of your brain that help you pause, reflect, and respond
Three essential stages of restoration for an HSP that allow you to function at your optimum levels
How to counter the HSP negativity bias and fill up your brain’s positive tank
A customized plan for daily HSP self-care to restore and rebalance you
Module 5: Honoring & Celebrating Self-Care & Self-Love

Imagine moving out of survival mode into thriving. What would you do if you had more energy? Who would benefit in your life if you felt calm and balanced with greater access to joy? This class will be dedicated to exploring these important questions.

As you become more proficient at calming your overstimulated nervous system, Julie will give you a technique for attaining centered alignment.

When you feel your best, you’re empowered to give yourself permission to live in a way that supports your needs as a sensitive person. You can then recognize your gifts, knowing that you’re truly here for a reason.

In this module, you’ll discover:

A sense of normalizing your experience as a sensitive person in a world that’s not set up for HSPs
How to honor your unique needs and validate your real emotions
A vision for your life that includes more joy, more energy, and more beauty
Techniques for centered alignment, uniquely designed for HSPs
A celebration of your unique self and gifts
A greater facility for accessing and expressing your strengths
Module 6: Advocating for Your Needs — Letting Go of Guilt & Shame

HSPs seem to have higher rates of stress, anxiety, and insomnia. Why might that be?

In this module, Julie will explore this topic in a revelatory conversation with Dr. Julia Hipp, ND, that will give you insights and guidance that addresses these challenges.

Because the world is not set up for sensitive people and there are so many people who don’t yet know about this trait, we need to learn to advocate for our needs in relationships, at work, and even in health. In this session, you’ll learn tools to improve your relationships and your experience at work.

Releasing guilt and shame is like taking a thousand-pound weight off your body. Finally getting your needs met sets in motion a positive domino effect in every area of your life.

In this module, you’ll discover:

How to be vulnerable in your relationships and still feel safe so you can deeply connect
The impact on your health and wellbeing of over-compromising and giving up your needs
How to educate mental health and medical professionals so you can get the support you truly need
Insights and guidance on using natural remedies to decrease stress and anxiety, which are common in HSPs
Support and tools to arrange your environment at work to meet your sensitive needs — including building in breaks to avoid burnout

Module 7: Thriving in the World as an HSP — Aligning With Your Authentic Self

By the end of this course, you’ll have had a chance to develop a template of what works for you — and how to continue to develop that template throughout your life.

Understanding how to take care of your unique needs means you finally get to live aligned with who you are. This brings you closer to a higher level of empowerment where you can truly share your gifts with the world.

You’re so needed in the world! When you live in alignment with your authentic self, everyone benefits.

Developing a true sense of who you are, and what you want and need helps you make better life decisions — which likely is a skill that’s been underdeveloped because you’ve been focused on others’ needs.

Finally, you can know yourself deeply without always filtering everything through the lens of other people’s needs. It gives you a solid baseline to soar even higher in life.

In this module, you’ll discover:

That your authentic Self is valued and needed in the world, on a very deep level
That you have access to a new freedom, now that this trait has been “normalized” and you’ve been validated by others who share it
Your own requirements for your care and nurturing as an HSP
How to shine your brightest and truly thrive, as you’re uplifted by other kind-hearted and supportive HSPs
Insights to help you continue to be who you truly are, that enable you to know what you want and need, and that empower you to make decisions that allow you to flourish in all areas of your life
