Julie Bjelland – 7 Steps To Embody The Gifts Of Your Sensitivity

Description

Julie Bjelland – 7 Steps To Embody The Gifts Of Your Sensitivity

Transform stress, anxiety, and overwhelm into a sense of calm and groundedness — through proven brain-training practices.
Uncover the profound gifts hidden underneath the challenges of high sensitivity…

What would it be like if you felt much more at home in the world…

… because you had permission to be who you are, to fully embody and express your beautiful sensitivity?

Instead, you likely feel as if you’re a square peg trying to fit into a round hole… dealing with simultaneous demands, and the expectation you should be able to “multitask” like other people — draining your energy.

As a highly sensitive person (HSP), the reality is that you’re uniquely gifted — yet, without knowing how to navigate daily life (and relationships) with your sensitivities, you might not feel so “gifted”…

You might experience deeply intense emotion and overwhelm. Decisions and taking action can be difficult when not given enough time to process all the details.

You may also struggle to set boundaries or limits, often apologizing for or hiding your true feelings and needs — unable to create enough space or alone time, or practice loving self-care.

Your sensitivities, challenges, and gifts! are actually linked to deeper processing in your brain. And, according to the latest brain science, you’re not alone — about 20% of the population is considered to be highly sensitive.

Genuine and compassionate, you have the ability to anticipate other people’s needs beforehand, and read others’ body language and microexpressions due to your higher level of awareness.

Other characteristics many HSPs share include:

• You prefer deep conversations instead of small talk
• For much of your life, saying no or creating boundaries with family or loved ones has been a challenge
• You often feel guilty putting yourself first, and blame yourself if someone else is disappointed
• You have high expectations for yourself
• You’re more affected by external stimuli than other people seem to be — bright lights, ticking clocks, dripping water, subtle smells (air freshener or food smells), and uncomfortable materials or textiles (like seams or tags in clothing)
• You crave meaning and fulfillment
• You have strong insight and are deeply in tune with others
• You love being in nature and find it restores you
• You feel drained and need extra downtime after crowds, socializing, or traveling
• You want to get things right and try hard to avoid mistakes
• You are very perceptive, noticing small changes in a room others might not see, or picking up scents
• You need time to process new information — and if you don’t get it, you can become overwhelmed and feel rushed

If you relate to even just a few of these traits, you’re likely empathic and a highly sensitive person…

And, at the same time, because only 20% of the population are HSPs, you might find that the world is not set up well for you. As a result, you might end up feeling like something is wrong with you or like you don’t fit in.

Science now validates what you’ve personally experienced as an HSP, and has determined what’s going on in your brain…

As leading expert and author Julie Bjelland explains, “Your brain is a supercomputer, taking in 50-100 ‘tubes’ of information, whereas the majority of people take in just a few tubes of information at a time.” (This explains A LOT!)

Your brain has two parts: the emotional brain and the cognitive brain. For many HSPs the emotional brain becomes overactivated, basically putting the cognitive brain to sleep. This can make it hard to take in information, access memory, and emotionally regulate when you’re overwhelmed.

Fortunately, you can prevent this cycle now… and you don’t have to hide your sensitivity anymore!

You can teach your brain how to turn the cognitive part of your brain back on — so you can feel more in control, think more clearly, and be more focused and efficient.

In this brand-new video training, Julie Bjelland will show you how to activate certain brain centers intentionally, so you feel more balanced and calm, using simple practices that also promote overall wellbeing…

Over 7 healing, empowering sessions, you’ll also discover:

• A clear definition of the HSP trait and an understanding of yourself within it
• How to prevent stress centers in the brain from over-activating
• Tools uniquely suited to HSPs to help you increase self-esteem, self-acceptance, and self-compassion
• How to educate mental health and medical professionals so you can get the support you truly need
• How to give yourself permission to live your life in a way that supports you
• Greater access to the gifts that come with this trait — and how to use them to your benefit
• The importance of advocating for your unique needs in relationships, work, and health
• Proven practices to regulate your emotions when you’re feeling overwhelmed
• An ability to change from reaction to pause, reflect, and response
• New ways to reframe and change your inner narrative from self-criticism to self-acceptance
• More energy, more focus, and more balance
• How to honor your needs and live in alignment with what honors you
• Practices and guidance for living your best life as an HSP

A Personal Invitation From Julie Bjelland
Greetings, Beautiful Sensitive Being,

In my many years of specializing in this trait and working with highly sensitive people (HSPs) as a psychotherapist and HSP educator, I have had the incredible privilege of working with HSPs all over the world.

I have found common patterns, challenges, gifts, and experiences that we seem to share as HSPs.

I know that helping an HSP move from surviving to thriving changes the world, because when you are living your best life, you are out there spreading kindness, love, and beauty. It’s just who we are!

So if you feel called to join me for this program, we’ll explore the trait together, and get to know ourselves and our needs as HSPs to support the highest quality of life we can reach.

You are SO needed in the world and it’s my goal to help you shine your brightest. Experiencing this course with other HSPs will inspire you, uplift you, and normalize and validate your experience in ways that will transform your life.

I look forward to celebrating our sensitivity together.

What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules
In this 7-part transformational intensive, you’ll receive validation, compassionate support, and skills to help you transform challenges that come with the trait of sensory-processing sensitivity, honor the gifts of your sensitivity, and flourish as an HSP.

Video teachings, training sessions, and experiential practices with Julie will guide you as you journey through what may likely be the most transformative journey of your life.

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

Recognizing High Sensitivity in Infants & Children
Video Teaching From Julie Bjelland

Research shows that providing sensitive children with the support they need will actually make them less likely to develop anxiety and depression, and help these children thrive even more than non-sensitive children in all aspects of life! If they don’t get the support they need, they’ll be more likely to have anxiety and depression, creating massive challenges for them later in life.

Learning what can be some early signs to look for in a sensitive infant and child can help parents, caregivers, educators, and medical and mental health providers understand and support the sensitive child so they can live their best lives too!
