How Therapists Can Support Highly Sensitive Clients During Emotional Outbursts

Today I reflect on why we use the term "rude awakening" and how it relates to self-development and mental health. As someone who teaches and practices self-development and spiritual betterment, I can attest that my own awakenings have felt rude. Awakenings are not just one singular moment of realization but rather a series of uncomfortable layers that we expand upon. We resist change, and our ego fights against the new knowledge that comes with an awakening. I share my personal experiences with rude awakenings, the hard work that is therapy, and how to embrace the discomfort of what's coming. We must be open to change, accept that we can only change ourselves, and be kind to ourselves during the process. Ultimately, when we know better, we can do better. Struggling with emotional outbursts in therapy? These episodes often stem from deep-seated emotional pain and can be particularly challenging for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs). I discuss how to handle client aggression with empathy, set clear boundaries, and use mindfulness to manage emotional triggers. Healing the inner child is key to overcoming these challenges and improving mental health.
