In this episode, I speak with Jole Berlage-Buccellati about the importance of exploring the spectrum and diversity of experience found within the Highly Sensitive Person. We discuss the connection between HSP and trauma, HSP and being a change-marker and how HSPs are often high-potential individuals. Jole Berlage-Buccellati's path led her from two degrees in science (biology/anthropology) and a minor in music, to a certification as a Pilates trainer with Alan Herdman. Years of training in Karate and Modern Dance taught her about the organized flow of life energy and the focused mind approach inherent in both. A master’s degree in music therapy allowed me to fuse these various threads into an integral and innovative approach to support highly-sensitives. Certifications as an Energy Codes Facilitator (Dr. Sue Morter) and in Embodied Processing deepened her understanding of the human energy system and qualified her to work with trauma. A few years ago, she created Qi- Pilates to support her clients in reconnecting with their bodies in a deep way.  Jole Berlage-Buccellati's Website: https://integralcoreproject.com/Support the showAbout the Host: Jules De Vitto has a BSc in Psychology, MA in Education and MSc in Transpersonal Psychology, Consciousness and Spirituality.

In this episode, we discuss how to connect with our innate gifts and thrive as Highly Sensitive People.As a Transpersonal Coach, I’m passionate about embodied transformation and helping those of us who are highly sensitive go beyond our conditioning and reconnect with our core Self. How do we go from knowing something intellectually to embodying it in the cells of our being? How do we live in alignment with the qualities of our innate essence – the truth of who we know ourselves to be? My work has led me to develop the HSH Integrative Model for Embodied Transformation, which encompasses eight domains for helping HSP thrive and step into their authentic gifts. Mastery in the eight domains enables us to navigate emotional overwhelm and step into our authentic power.

In this episode, we discuss the potential connection between high sensitivity and spiritual awakening experiences. Jessica shares her recently published research 'Spontaneous Spiritual Awakenings: Phenomenology, Altered States, Individual Differences, and Well-Being'. We identify what spiritual awakening experiences are, the challenges that can come with these experiences as well as the positive long-term effects of spiritual awakening experiences. Jessica Corneille, MSc is a Research Psychologist specialising in spontaneous spiritual awakening experiences. She graduated with a Masters Degree in Psychology (Distinction) from the University of Greenwich, where she focused her studies on altered states of consciousness. With a passion to bridge the worlds of science and spirituality, her mission is to challenge the default pathologisation of awakening experiences by helping to inform and encourage mainstream psychology to look beyond the current designated spectrum of ‘normality’, to encompass the transpersonal as something that is intrinsic to the human experience. Jessica recently published her research on the phenomenology, individual differences and well-being effects of spontaneous spiritual awakenings with Dr David Luke, and has given a number of talks on her work, including with the British Psychological Society (BPS). She works for the Scientific and Medical Network and Galileo Commission, is a collaborator of the Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium and Spiritual Crisis Network, and is a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher.Resources: Spiritual Crisis Network (SCN): https://www.spiritualcrisisnetwork.uk International Spiritual Emergence Network (ISEN): https://www.spiritualemergencenetwork.org American Center for the Integration of Spiritually Transformative Experiences (ACISTE): https://aciste.org Spiritual Awakenings International (SAI) – sharing circles: https://spiritualawakeningsinternational.org Emerging Proud: Support the showAbout the Host: Jules De Vitto has a BSc in Psychology, MA in Education and MSc in Transpersonal Psychology, Consciousness and Spirituality.

In this episode, based on Jules' background in Transpersonal Psychology and understanding of psychospiritual transformation - Jules share the perspective that experiences of trauma can often be a catalyst for our psychospiritual growth and awakening as Highly Sensitive People.Jules discusses how the traits of high sensitivity can mean HSP are more prone to the impact of their environment and dysregulation of our nervous system. Inspired by the teaching of Gabor Mate,  Bessel Van der Kolk, and Peter Levine she touches upon what Gabor refers to as the 'wisdom of trauma' and share how trauma, can result in a 'breaking open' and without negating the challenges. She share the perspective that trauma can move us closer to the divine and a connection with the spiritual; often resulting in awakening. She draws on the concept of the wounded healer and the importance of leaning towards, rather than moving away from our difficulties.Join the online 8-week course: Step into your Authentic Power as a Highly Sensitive Person This course offers 8-modules with an abundance of resources, meditations, workbooks, 1-1 and group coaching, community support as well as live workshops with guest experts! Spaces are now open for the next course starting March 7th, 2022.

In this episode, we explore the traits of high sensitivity from a transpersonal and holistic perspective. Are you a highly sensitive person, and are you drawn towards a spiritual path? Have your struggles as a highly sensitive person led you onto a path of significant healing and growth?From my personal experience and professional work as a coach, I have understood that being highly sensitive has a purpose that goes beyond evolutionary advantages.

In this episode, I speak to Nick Jellie who is a mentor and EFT practitioner for highly sensitive people experiencing social anxiety. Nick explains the theory behind the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), otherwise known as tapping, and how it can be used to combat anxiety for Highly Sensitive People. We talk about the importance of approaching our healing from a holistic perspective and how specific emotions and trauma are stored energetically within the physical body. EFT works to release these energetical blockages through tapping on meridians and draws on various theories of alternative and energy medicine.EFT Anxiety and the Highly Sensitive PersonNick Jellie is a mentor and EFT practitioner for highly sensitive people experiencing social anxiety. He holds an honours degree in psychology and is studying towards registration as a certified practitioner with EFT International. Nick experienced his own struggles with social anxiety for almost 10 years trying unsuccessfully to overcome his anxiety using a number of different methods. He is an accomplished meditation practitioner and has also learned from spiritual teachers such as Sadhguru, Eckhart Tolle, and others on his journey to inner freedom and recovery. He now teaches others how to overcome past experiences of shame and guilt, and retrain their nervous system to experience greater ease and confidence in social situations.Stay in touch with Nick: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.jellie.9Nick's Website: http://www.socialanxietyfreedom.com/Books Mentioned: The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle:  Alan Watts, The Wisdom of InsecurityWhen the Body Says No, Gabor Mate The Body Keeps Score, Bessel van der KolkMore about your host, Jules De Vitto...Jules De Vitto is a Transpersonal Coach who Support the showAbout the Host: Jules De Vitto has a BSc in Psychology, MA in Education and MSc in Transpersonal Psychology, Consciousness and Spirituality.

Welcome to part 1 of a Q & A special! In this episode, I respond to a number of questions that were sent in from listeners in the Facebook Community and via Instagram! I explain what is meant by the term 'Sensory Processing Sensitivity'. I talk about how we can navigate emotional overwhelm, how to protect ourselves from absorbing the energies or emotions of others and the importance of boundary setting. I also touch upon the importance of cultivating self-compassion when we are faced with criticism.More about your host, Jules De Vitto...Jules De Vitto  is a Transpersonal Coach who is experienced at helping Highly Sensitive People overcome anxiety, stress and burnout. Jules is Highly Sensitive herself and is passionate about helping Highly Sensitive People step into their authentic power and align with their true purpose in life.

In today’s episode, we explore the relationship between addiction and the highly sensitive person. Drawing on Marina’s journey and path of recovery and her training in compassionate inquiry with Dr Gabor Mate, we explore the definition of addiction outside of the mainstream medical model, and the subtle ways addiction can show up in our lives. We also discuss the 8-step recovery program, co-founded by Dr, Valerie Mason-John and Dr Paramabandhu Groves which uses Buddhist teachings to overcome addiction and which Marina is also trained in.  Finally, we explore and share our relationship with the wounded healer, and how it is our own wounds, trauma and challenges that propelled us on our healing path, and which eventually led us to coach, counsel and guide others on their journey of healing, recovery and transformation.About Marina...Marina specializes in alternative approaches to health, spirituality, and life in general. Originally from Yugoslavia, Marina has a BA in Psychology from the University of Novi Sad, Serbia, and her MA in Communications is from the University of Hawaii, Honolulu. She trained in conflict resolution and mediation, yoga and meditation, and Ayurveda. She is a certified Mindfulness-Based Addiction Recovery coach and currently teaches this 8-week course online. Marina is also a certified practitioner of the Compassionate Inquiry approach, developed by Dr Gabor Mate. Her work is closely connected to her personal path of recovery from addiction.  LinksMarina's pages:  https://marinakolaric.com,Marina's Profile: https://compassionateinquiry.com/directory/marina-kolaric/             Dr Gabor Mate page: https://drgabormate.com                                                                                      ESR page: https://www.valeriemason-john.com/eight-step-recovery/  More about your host, Jules De Vitto...Support the showAbout the Host: Jules De Vitto has a BSc in Psychology, MA in Education and MSc in Transpersonal Psychology, Consciousness and Spirituality.
