“Brain Training for the Highly Sensitive Person is a valuable support in opening to the challenges and potentials that come with high-level sensitivity.”
“This is full of thoughtful, warm-hearted, and useful suggestions for calming and fortifying the nervous system. Julie Bjelland is a master of her craft.”
Who Am I and How Can I Help?
I’m Julie Bjelland, LMFT, a psychotherapist, author, and founder of Sensitive Empowerment. I specialize in high sensitivity, neurodivergence, and adult-discovered autism, and I created this course to help sensitive and neurodivergent people calm overwhelm, support their nervous systems, and build more steadiness and self-compassion in daily life.
My work is neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQIA+ affirming, and I’m passionate about helping you work with your brain rather than against it.
“Julie has developed great expertise and success in her work with sensitive and neurodivergent people. She has used research, clinical experience and her gifts to develop a unique and effective therapeutic approach to help clients overcome the obstacles of living in a world that is too often not supportive of sensitive needs, and to help us feel accepted and valued rather than different or “wrong”. The course also offers the benefit of Julie’s warm, compassionate voice and her caring.”
“This course gave me clarity, understanding, and acceptance of myself and what I need to thrive; like having an owner’s manual to myself as an HSP. I started the course feeling depleted and easily knocked down by life’s challenges. I now feel centered, resilient, empowered, energetic, and joyful, and am feeling and bringing my best to my life and to the people in it.”
A gentle, self-paced course you can take in your own time
In just 1 to 2 hours a week, you can begin building more calm, clarity, and steadiness in your daily life. This course is self-paced, so you can move through it in the comfort of your own home and at a pace that works for your nervous system.
“I would like to thank you for offering this online course to HSPs. The format is great when having two small children and needing to be flexible. I am very glad I jumped in and recommend it to anyone who is suffering from being very sensitive instead of thriving. Thank you Julie for living your life purpose!”
“This course has helped me open my heart up to myself. It has changed my perspective and taught me that my sensitive trait is a gift not something to be endured painfully in my life. I feel calmer, more positive and hopeful. I recommend this course to anyone with High Sensitivity who needs understanding and acceptance of themselves. Give yourself this gift!”

“I’ve been struggling with my anxiety for the past few years, and my brain feels like it can rest again. I am so grateful for this course and being able to work on myself for the better.”
“Advice to others: TAKE THIS CLASS. My life is so much better because of it. Prior to taking this class I was very anxious, stressed and unhappy with myself. I felt different from everyone else (friends, family, coworkers, etc). I took this out on others and myself. Now, eight weeks later, I feel calm, relaxed and I am completely okay with being different. I embrace my sensitivity as a gift and take time to care for myself to stay balanced. When I stumble, I have my toolbox handy to help pick me up and get me back on track. This class is truly worth it and, most importantly, you’re worth it!”

Full Scholarships for Black HSPs or Neurodivergent
I am offering full scholarships specifically to Black individuals because I am committed to being part of the necessary change toward racial equity. Historically, Black people have faced systemic barriers to education and resources, including within sensitive and neurodivergent communities. I recognize the importance of creating more accessible opportunities for those who have been marginalized. To date, I’ve contributed thousands of dollars in scholarships to Black HSPs and neurodivergent individuals and will continue to do so to foster inclusivity and equal access. Apply Here
Partial Scholarships
