Tools for Overwhelmed People
Gifted & Sensitive Bodies
Amy Smith, BCC
Oakland, CA
One time event Friday Feb 8, 6:45-9 pm and Saturday Feb 9, 9:30 am-3:30 pm
Easily overwhelmed? Anxious? Stressed? Depressed? This is both a gift and a curse.
Some of us are Gifted and Sensitive. We pick up stuff from others and carry it around.
InterPlay offers special tools for working in a more embodied way with our sensitivity.
InterPlay also affirms and celebrates special ways of knowing things. What a relief!
Amy knows first hand the challenge and joy of working with high-end empathy and sensitivity. Amy is gifted, compassionate, sensitive bodied with somatic and InterPlay training, massage therapy, and more. She works in hospice spiritual care and sees InterPlay as her life-line to joy and community.
Gifted bodies, perceiving all these energies
Acting like mirrors and amplifiers.
If we get grounded and centered in the depths of earth,
We can distinguish what's theirs and call back what's ours.
We have options and are not at the beck and call
Of the world or our families.
Respecting our limits and making space for grace and play
Is how we best share of our gifts and what the world needs.
