Description
Highly sensitive people spend a lot of time trying to balance their surroundings, including the emotions and wellbeing of those around them, which lends to a supportive and caring nature. While highly sensitive people are well-suited for the role of 'helper', this practice can be particularly exhausting if not regulated. This book contains a variety of tools geared towards self-development and optimising a helpful and supportive conversation in professional therapeutic settings or personal relationships.
This practical guide demonstrates how to use simple psychotherapeutic methods through supportive dialogues, which can be applied by anyone without any formal training. Written in easy language with real-life examples and practical exercises, this will serve as a handbook for highly sensitive people who provide help either on a professional or personal level.

Anusha N, Reviewer
As a highly sensitive person who frequently attracts people's confessions, I constantly get shrouded in negative emotions. This book helped me a lot.
Roger R, Educator
This book is aimed at facilitators and people who have the vocation to help alleviate the suffering of other people, but who have the characteristic of being highly sensitive and with empathic abilities. These two traits allow these people to perceive more acutely the problems of others but also collect many sensations that make them feel over-stimulated, out of center and drained energetically faster.
Lately there has been a lot of interest in these subjects about highly sensitive people with empathic abilities, there are many disciplines that are doing research. This book in particular provides simple psychotherapeutic methods to be less affected when we help others and also for our personal development. Many of the tools can be used by anyone and some only by professionals. For example, one of the situations in which the use of tools is explained with examples is dealing with anxiety or even panic anxiety.
The higly sensitive caring human beings who want to help and live in a better world are very valuable, as are their empathic abilities, but they have slightly different needs and it is fundamental that they remain in balance, that they have tools to support themselves and develop a mentality Self-care. The most revealing and sensitizing chapters for me have been chapter 9 that encompasses the important traits and problems faced by this type of people; And Chapter 10 that addresses the challenges for the highly sensitive helper and practices and tools that can help protect themselves from being overwhelmed.
My gratitude to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book
