Show Notes
Julie and Willow answer your HSP Questions!
How can we stay regulated and balanced while we are feeling deep excitement so we can sleep?
Can you speak to how perfectionism keeps us trapped from trying out new things and leading our lives with curiosity?
I get severe overwhelm when driving, particularly in busy or unfamiliar areas. Also going to places such as airports. I was wondering what advice you might have for such situations
When things get really busy for me I can become very drained and tired. My body can become achy and fatigued and also mentally it's like I have brain fog and can't process quickly or focus, and that leads to making mistakes. I know that it's because we are sensing and taking in so much and that we need to rest and practice self-care at such times. I'm wondering if you have any tips in terms of energy when going through busy times when you can't always practice those self-care tips that help preserve energy.
How do/did you establish your boundary around what you share publically about your childhood when it comes to emotional neglect, childhood trauma, and parents?
How can you find an HSP psychotherapist?
I was wondering if you could share any tips you have to deactivate the flight or flight response when it kicks in.

Willow McIntosh is the founder of Inluminance and leader of the High Sensory Intelligence movement. Unique circumstances during Willow’s childhood lead to the burying of his authentic self and complete misalignment to the work he was destined for. He began to carve his own path into understanding how people with sensory processing sensitivity can learn to use their genetic traits to their advantage. As an adult this lead to a lifelong enquiry and practise into learning powerful energetic alignment techniques to re-engage with the authentic self. Willow believes that all people with the trait have the ability to tap into a unique skill that draws on a deeper sensory perception. Founded in their own life experience and self development they have the capacity to facilitate great transformation and development in others. Willow is on a mission to awaken us to the responsibility we have to utilise the abilities it affords in business, governments and leadership. Having successfully facilitated the development of seven figure businesses Willow’s practise has taken him all over the world. Speaking internationally, training in a broad range of fields and facilitating others for more than twenty years. Willow now specialises in facilitating people with the trait to activate them into service in alignment with their gifts and purpose and to support them to take their own businesses to the next level towards automation and leadership.
