Connecting with Ancient Mysticism & Sacred Wisdom for Highly Sensitive People on their Psycho-Spiritual Path with Peter Kelly

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.Clara's linksInstagramThe Psychedelic Integration Compass Podcast Youtube Podcast EpisodesSupport the showAbout the Host: Jules De Vitto is a transpersonal coach, trainer and experienced educator.

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.

In this episode, I speak with Jole Berlage-Buccellati about the importance of exploring the spectrum and diversity of experience found within the Highly Sensitive Person. We discuss the connection between HSP and trauma, HSP and being a change-marker and how HSPs are often high-potential individuals. Jole Berlage-Buccellati's path led her from two degrees in science (biology/anthropology) and a minor in music, to a certification as a Pilates trainer with Alan Herdman. Years of training in Karate and Modern Dance taught her about the organized flow of life energy and the focused mind approach inherent in both. A master’s degree in music therapy allowed me to fuse these various threads into an integral and innovative approach to support highly-sensitives. Certifications as an Energy Codes Facilitator (Dr. Sue Morter) and in Embodied Processing deepened her understanding of the human energy system and qualified her to work with trauma. A few years ago, she created Qi- Pilates to support her clients in reconnecting with their bodies in a deep way.  Jole Berlage-Buccellati's Website: https://integralcoreproject.com/Support the showAbout the Host: Jules De Vitto is a transpersonal coach, trainer and experienced educator.

In today's episode, I speak with Robert Siegers exploring, 'Is the Highly Sensitive Person the same as Autism Spectrum Disorder?' We discuss the similarities, differences and overlapping traits with the purpose of opening up a dialogue around this important topic. We also explore the purpose and potential limitations of using labels and diagnosis. We discuss the importance of understanding neurodiversity with the intention and goal of delving into the lived experience of being highly sensitive and how it may overlap or intertwine with other diagnoses - ultimately, respecting and honouring the diversity of our human experience. Robert is a highly sensitive person and entrepreneur from Germany. He is the host of the UNDERSTANDABLE podcast. On his channel, he talks about mental health topics such as high sensitivity and other neurodivergent conditions.
