High sensitivity can become an extraordinary instrument, but only if you learn how to play it. I explore what actually makes a therapist effective, and it has nothing to do with how much you have suffered. The real work is combining a soft, tender heart with a strong spine, staying close enough to feel someone's pain without rescuing them from it. Labels do not heal. Presence does, and so does holding the lantern without walking their path for them.
