In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Thedy Veliz, a child and family therapist and founder of the Institute for Non-Formulaic Youth, to explore his framework for non-formularity. Thedy Veliz, PhD, is a child and family therapist in private practice in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is the founder of the Institute for Non-Formulaic Youth. He recently completed his PhD at the California Institute of Integral Studies which is based in San Francisco. Dr. Veliz primarily works with parents of difficult children to help them understand the source of their children’s behavioral, learning, social, and emotional challenges. This understanding is then used to adjust their parenting interventions to downregulate their children’s sensitive nervous system. Dr. Veliz has a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, a master’s in business administration, and a master’s in counseling psychology. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, he held positions in engineering design and finance management at energy and technology companies.  Dr Thedy Veliz makes the case that these children aren't broken or bad, they're wired with a nervous system that's exquisitely susceptible to their environment, and that the variable we can actually change is the environment around them, not the child. We talk about why punishment so often backfires, why behaviour is the last thing to surface after a long and invisible build-up of stress, and the powerful shift from correcting our children to connecting with them. Thedy also shares the PACE stance for parents (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) and the link between this sensitive neurobiology and real gifts like creativity, empathy and a fierce sense of social justice.

In this heartfelt and honest conversation, I am joined by integrative psychotherapist and HSP coach Simone De Costa, breathwork facilitator and coach Alan Friday, and Clinical Psychologist and conscious parenting coach Dr Genevieve Von Lob. We are the co-facilitation team behind the annual HSP Retreat in Devon. Together, they explore what it means to "unmask" - the process of shedding the adaptive personas we build to fit in, survive, and belong, and returning to our authentic selves. The conversation covers how masking often begins in childhood (especially for highly sensitive people), the roles we unconsciously take on, such as the people-pleaser, peacekeeper, or achiever, and the personal toll of living behind these masks over time. We each share our journey of unmasking - from burnout and crisis moments that became catalysts for deeper self-inquiry, to the gradual, courageous process of learning to trust our inner voice and body. We discuss how "coming home to yourself" is less about reaching a fixed destination and more about cultivating a safe, compassionate inner refuge - one built through embodied practices, self-acceptance, and genuine community. The episode closes with three practical tools for embodiment: breathwork and diaphragmatic breathing (Alan), the mindful body scan (Simone), and the three-sync check-in — tuning into thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations simultaneously (Genevieve). We also give a glimpse into our upcoming four-day HSP Retreat in Devon - a deeply nourishing, spacious, and welcoming container for sensitive people who are ready to finally exhale, belong, and be themselves.

From sensory overwhelm and emotional intensity to overthinking, perfectionism, and difficulty with boundaries, this episode highlights the often unseen challenges that sensitive individuals face in classrooms and beyond.  Kaaryn also shares insights from her upcoming book, Understanding the Highly Sensitive Learner, offering guidance for parents, educators, and Highly Sensitive individuals across all stages of life.

In this episode of the Highly Sensitive Human Podcast, I sit down with  Ixté Owul - a certified Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) coach, spiritual mentor, and intuitive guide. Together, we explore what it means to reclaim sensitivity as a gift rather than a burden. Ixté shares her personal story of navigating psychic experiences from a young age, and later experiencing a profound spiritual awakening. She speaks about the importance of presence, safety, and being witnessed and how highly sensitive people can transform their experiences of overwhelm into sources of empowerment. The conversation touches on ancestral healing, dreamwork, shadow work, and the role of grief and transformation in the HSP journey. Ixté also offers insights into her unique mentorship and healing practices, as well as resources that have supported her along the way.  Resources Mentioned: Conscious Dreaming by Robert MossThe Anatomy of a Calling by Lissa Rankin, MDQuote from Charles Eisenstein, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is PossibleMore about Ixté Owul Ixté Owul is a certified Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) coach, spiritual mentor, and intuitive guide.

In this episode The Wild Sensitive, Unlocking the Power of The Highly Sensitive High Sensation Seeker I'm so excited to be talking with the inspiring Randy Grasser and Annet van Duinen.  With a rare combination of emotional depth and daring spirit, they are redefining what it means to be both Highly Sensitive (HSP) and High Sensation Seeking (HSS). Their lives are a living testament to this vibrant duality, walking the edge between stillness and adventure, introspection and bold exploration. Their mission is rooted in personal experience. Randy’s path has spanned over 50 countries and countless extremes, from surviving an avalanche and navigating wilderness trials to working in harsh industrial environments and creating a life-changing 26-day behavioral program for court-appointed teens. Each chapter of his journey uncovered a deeper truth: his sensitivity wasn’t a weakness, it was his greatest strength. Annet brings over a decade of coaching experience as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC), guiding individuals and organizations toward understanding, embracing, and leveraging sensitivity in powerful ways. A true explorer at heart, she combines emotional depth with bold curiosity, helping others find freedom and confidence in who they are, both in personal growth and professional leadership. Together, they are dedicated to educating and empowering others through every medium they can reach, be it their books, immersive retreats, online webinars and workshops, and meaningful conversations on social media. Their teachings offer a fresh, compassionate, and powerfully honest perspective, one that validates sensitivity as a strength while also honoring the craving for novelty, challenge, and growth that many HSPs feel but rarely understand.

In today's episode, I speak to William Allen about Highly Sensitive Men and his new course, On Being a Highly Sensitive Man.  William Allen is the author of Confessions of a Sensitive Man and On Being a Sensitive Man. He leads the course with insights drawn from his extensive work as an advocate for HSP men. He is a certified hypnotist and brain training coach, author and advocate for HSP Men.  He believes that male sensitivity is not so rare, but it can be confounding for most males living in a culture of masculine insensitivity which teaches boys and men to disconnect from their feelings and emotions. As a highly sensitive individual himself, William combines personal experience, professional expertise, and engaging storytelling to create a transformative learning experience.   Join the Waitlist (before March 17th) and take advantage of the early-bird discount: https://wwwhighlysensitivehumanscom.involve.me/hsp-man-course-waitlist Join the course On Being a Highly Sensitive Man here: https://academy.highlysensitivehumans.com/courses/on-being-a-sensitive-man Stay in touch with William Allen   Website:  www.thesensitiveman.com Author of Confessions of a Sensitive Man, An Unconventional Defense of Sensitive Men Support the show About the Host: Jules De Vitto is a transpersonal coach, trainer and experienced educator for Highly Sensitive People.

In this episode on Unlocking your Authentic Self as a Highly Sensitive Person: Psychedelic Integration and Psychosynthesis I speak to Clara Parati. Clara is a qualified Psychedelic Integration Specialist, Psychosynthesis Coach, and Holistic Practitioner. Her client-centred approach incorporates transpersonal psychology, mind-body repatterning, and ancient principles to facilitate profound transformation through personal integration journeys. She empowers individuals to break old patterns of behaviour, cultivate emotional regulation, and reconnect more deeply with their authentic selves. In the episode, we discuss the importance of integration as a process for creating long-lasting transformation rather than temporary 'peak experiences'. We talk about the specific needs of HSP and how, as Highly Sensitive People, we might navigate the psycho-spiritual journey, particularly in the context of plant medicine experiences. Clara discusses the unique benefits of the transpersonal approach of psychosynthesis as a powerful modality for supporting integration. We also explore the importance of connecting more deeply with the authentic Self.

I'm excited to share S2, E11 of the Highly Sensitive Human Podcast. In this episode, I speak about a topic that is very close to my heart and something I feel very passionate about when it comes to being a Highly Sensitive Person, 'Grief Tending, Shadow & Soul Work for Highly Sensitive People for Holistic Transformation'. As HSP we are very attuned to their internal and external landscape and are more receptive to experiences of joy, awe, and beauty as well as despair, suffering and grief.  We’re strongly impacted by difficult circumstances, and we often carry grief related to what we needed and didn’t receive as children; the parts of ourselves that have been rejected and shamed; sorrow related to the suffering we see in the world including the loss and longing for deeper connection and community.  I share my perspective on grief tending, the importance of shadow work and connecting with our soul; how this often relates to our purpose as HSP.  Join the course: https://academy.highlysensitivehumans.com/courses/shadow-soul-grief-highly-sensitive-people.
