Wendy Nickerson – Highly Sensitive Person Certification Training Program

Wendy Nickerson – Highly Sensitive Person Certification Training Program

Description Of Highly Sensitive Person Certification Training Program

In the late 1990’s the Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) trait (also known as Highly Sensitive Person or HSP) was identified by Dr. Elaine Aron and colleagues. Affecting 15-20% of the population, this trait has a strong influence on the ability to interact and thrive in the everyday world as common stimuli from the environment produce uncommon reactivity in the nervous system of HSPs, resulting in biological and psychological challenges. Many clients are being treated for depression and anxiety without acknowledgement or treatment of their underlying SPS/HSP trait. This is crucial to their overall psychological health and recovery.
