Being highly sensitive can feel like a blessing and a curse
For many of us, it started early: the shy kid hiding behind a parent’s leg, the one who couldn’t handle loud birthday parties, or who went into meltdown mode in the grocery store because the fluorescent lights + crowd noise + everyone’s emotions = total overwhelm.
Maybe you were the “quiet one” who disappeared into books. Or the “misbehaving one” who got labeled as difficult because your nervous system was already at its limit. Either way, people tried to fix you: be quieter, calmer, braver, less sensitive. Translation: “Don’t be you.”
So what did we do? We shut it down. We locked up our magic, turned down the dial, or swung the other way and let it all flood us until we felt like we were drowning. We learned to fit in, to not get in trouble, to hide what made us unique. Sometimes we still feel controlled by it, still wonder if we’re crazy for noticing and feeling so much.
But here’s the truth: you’re not crazy. You’re tuned in.
The Switchboard of Awareness
At WooVersity, we teach that sensitivity is like a funnel – you can open it wide, close it down, or learn to adjust it just right. Most people come in with the funnel slammed shut (hello numbness and burnout) or way too wide open (hello anxiety and overwhelm).
Our classes help you:
✨ Understand what’s actually happening when you “pick up on everything.”
✨ Learn to regulate your nervous system so you’re not fried all the time.
✨ Discern what’s yours and what’s just passing through.
✨ Titrate your awareness, how open and close it, so you can use it with intention, not be ruled by it.
✨ Give you a whole toolbox to support yourself, and heal the wounds from the past in relation to it all.
Your Sensitivity = Your Superpower
Everyone has the ability to tune their awareness. Some people are playing static. Some have the volume stuck on 100. The magic happens when you learn to hold the dial yourself.
So, where are you at right now?
Closed down and numb? Wide open and frazzled? Somewhere in between?
If you’re ready to stop hiding from your sensitivity and start owning it, come take a class. Let’s get your magic back online, in a way that feels powerful, playful, and actually doable.
Your sensitivity isn’t too much. It’s your gift. The only question is: are you ready to use it? Email us to chat about ways we can help you!
