Course Description

      There is a great amount of interest in the effects of the brain on behavior.  What is overlooked is that approximately 20% of the population display the personality traits of people who are highly sensitive.  Many people coming to us for help display these characteristics.  This workshop will identify and discern who is highly sensitive and who presents with more serious psychological issues.  Join us to learn more about this misunderstood population!
