Feeling more is not being weaker. It's literally a denser nervous system — more stimuli, more information, more to process. The point isn't to feel less. The point is a body that knows how to come back down after the stimuli.
Feeling more, recovering better
Hooggevoelig zijn is geen probleem, het vraagt alleen goede hersteltijd. Craniosacral is hier bij uitstek passend: subtiel genoeg om het systeem niet te overbelasten, concreet genoeg om echt iets te doen. Veel HSP-cliënten komen periodiek terug voor een onderhoudssessie.
How you’ll recognise it
After a full day you need to ‘switch off,’ and that’s getting harder. Sounds, light, crowds quickly feel like too much. Other people’s emotions come in. You need more quiet than others understand.
This isn’t your character, it’s your nervous system. It’s not about denial, but about coming out of overstimulation.
How craniosacral therapy helps
Craniosacral werkt subtiel op het autonome zenuwstelsel. Niet-invasief. Laat het systeem in eigen tempo zakken.
Many highly sensitive people start with three sessions and come back periodically for maintenance. That isn’t dependence, that’s taking care of yourself.
For children too
Highly sensitive children are a specific group. For children aged 2 to 5 and 7 to 10 I have separate pages — the approach is different, shorter, and a parent is always present.
