Patricia Zehentmayr's Bio:
Living in a too loud, fast-paced, competitive world always posed challenges for Patricia. Was something wrong with her? In 1996, she was told by a psychologist that no, nothing was wrong; she actually had a trait shared by 15-20% of people - that of being a Highly Sensitive Person. This started her on a path to learn all she could to navigate this trait, leaning into its advantages. Along the way, she mastered Feldenkrais, Emotional Freedom Technique, and Inner Reconciliation to communicate with the nervous system skillfully. It is her passion to share these gentle methods with other HSPs.
