Big Feelings, Big Joy

The Essential Practices to Break Free from Overwhelm and Reclaim Your Strengths as a Highly Sensitive Person

De: April Snow LMFT

A licensed psychotherapist and expert in sensitivity and introversion shares an insightful, practical, and hopeful approach to help Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) embrace their big feelings and live by their own rules. When you look back on your life, can you see your sensitivity peeking through? Little signs that you were a big feeler, a deep thinker, and a noticer of subtle details? Licensed psychotherapist April Snow, LMFT, has worked with thousands of Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) around the world in her clinical practice and popular workshops. Most have been told they’re “too sensitive,” but in this groundbreaking book, April proves that sensitivity isn’t a problem to be solved; it’s something you’re born with and a gift that can lead to a more engaged, fulfilling, joyful life . . . if you know how to live in alignment with your unique needs. As an HSP herself, April is intimately aware of both the struggles and strengths of being a big feeler and deep thinker, and how it impacts your identity, daily life, work, and relationships. Drawing from her lived experience, community connections, and the three-part framework she uses in her therapy practice, April provides an essential checklist that will help you accept your sensitivity rather than try to "fix" it. You will learn to:

• recognize what high sensitivity is and why your needs have always been different
• tend to your overwhelmed nervous system to feel more relaxed and recharged in every part of your life
• nurture your inner world to quiet your overthinking mind and welcome all your emotions with open arms
• connect in more heartfelt ways with the people you care about most without putting their needs before your own
• reframe sensitivity as a strength and the key to your compassion, intuition, and keen observation skills
• support your Highly Sensitive Children (HSCs), whether or not you identify as an HSP, with the self-knowledge and skills they need to thrive

With April's expert guidance, you too can follow your inner compass and embrace who you truly are, for a life that is full of joy in the big and little moments, and everything in between.
