This is something often held quietly after conversations.⁣
⁣
Not always spoken out loud but thought through again and again.⁣
⁣
For many highly sensitive people, interactions don’t just end when they’re over.⁣
⁣
They continue to be processed.⁣
Revisited.⁣
Felt through.⁣
⁣
Not necessarily because something went wrong but because there’s a depth to how things are taken in.⁣
⁣
Conversations can carry layers: tone, energy, meaning, subtle shifts.⁣
⁣
And even when nothing went wrong, there can still be something that lingers.⁣
⁣
If this is something you’ve experienced,⁣
you’re not the only one.⁣
⁣
Not everything that stays is something to fix.⁣

This is something commonly heard in sessions.⁣
⁣
Not just the exhaustion but the confusion around it.⁣
⁣
“I like people so why do I feel so drained after?”⁣
⁣
For many highly sensitive people, being around others can be deeply meaningful and still overwhelming at times.⁣
⁣
There’s a lot being taken in. A lot being processed.⁣
⁣
And sometimes, the hardest part isn’t the exhaustion itself. It’s feeling like the people around them don’t fully understand it.⁣
⁣
If this is something you’ve felt too, you’re not the only one.⁣
⁣
Needing space doesn’t mean caring any less.⁣

Sometimes parents quietly notice that their child experiences the world a little differently.

They feel things deeply. They notice small details others miss. They may become overwhelmed in busy environments or need extra quiet time after a full day. They might have big imaginations and strong empathy for others.

Often, these are simply signs of a highly sensitive child.

Sensitivity is not something that needs to be “fixed.” It’s a way of experiencing the world with depth and awareness. With the right support, highly sensitive children can learn to understand their feelings, trust their inner world, and express themselves in healthy ways.

We’re very happy to share that Rayna is now offering creative counselling for highly sensitive children at Constellations Counselling in our Kitsilano office.

Through art, imagination, and gentle exploration, children are supported in expressing their thoughts and feelings in ways that feel natural to them. Sometimes creativity becomes a language that helps children share what they may not yet have words for.

If you have a child who feels deeply or experiences the world intensely, this may be a supportive space for them.

There are moments where we’re so kind, patient, and understanding with others…

and then something shifts when it comes to ourselves.

The tone changes.
The softness disappears.
And suddenly, we’re holding ourselves to a completely different standard.

This 4-week group is an invitation to gently explore that.

The Art of Self-Compassion is a creative, reflective online group where we begin to notice how we relate to ourselves in moments of struggle and what it might feel like to respond with a little more care, understanding, and support. No art experience is needed.

Through simple art-making, reflection, and shared conversation, we’ll explore:

-how self-criticism shows up
-what a compassionate inner voice might sound like
-what it means to actually care for ourselves in real, everyday ways

This group is facilitated by our compassionate interns Jillian and Miranda, who have created such a thoughtful and well-held experience.

🗓 Saturdays, March 21 – April 11
🕥 10:30am – 12:30pm PT
💻 Online via Zoom
💲 Free
🔒 Closed 4-week group

If this feels like something your nervous system has been needing…you’re so welcome here.

Reserve your seat today: https://constellationscounselling.ca/project/art-of-self-compassion

Explore self-compassion through creativity in this 4-week online art therapy group. Reflect, create, and build a kinder relationship with yourself in a supportive space.

This sentence is heard often in sessions. ⁣
⁣
Many highly sensitive people have carried the belief that something about them is simply too much.⁣
⁣
Sometimes the work begins by slowing that belief down and becoming curious about what sensitivity actually is. ⁣
