Entering The Era of The Sensitive Person
Cindy interviewed by Amisha Ghadiali for All That We Are. “There’s a whole range of ways that highly sensitive people can show up in the consulting room in a negative way. There are also huge benefits to being highly sensitive. To live within an 80% society of people who are not highly sensitive we need to become very aware of the highly sensitive trait.” ~ Cindy Barnes
