You Are Not Too Much - reclaiming your worth through somatic CBT
The Lie You Were Told
You’ve heard it before. You’re too sensitive.
You overreact.
You need to toughen up.
So, you learned to hide it. To bite your lip. To smile when it hurt. To say “I’m fine” when you weren’t.
But here’s what no one told you: Your sensitivity is not a flaw. It’s a form of wisdom. A signal. A language. A doorway into something deeper and more alive.
Sensitivity as Somatic Intelligence
In Somatic therapy, we don’t try to get rid of your sensitivity. We listen to it. We make space for it. We let it speak.
We get curious about the heat in your chest, the tears that come too fast, the tension that tightens your shoulders before your mind has even caught up.
We stop asking, “Why am I like this?” And start asking, “What is this trying to tell me?”
Because your body is not betraying you. It’s trying to protect you. It’s trying to be heard. And when we pause and listen, something begins to soften.
You Were Responding, Not Overreacting
Sensitivity often gets misdiagnosed as weakness. But in truth, it’s the part of you that picks up on things others miss. The energy in the room. The unspoken tension. The shift in someone’s tone or body language.
You weren’t overreacting. You were responding. You just didn’t have the support, language, or safety to make sense of it.
That’s what this work is about: Making space for what was never met. Making sense of what was never explained. Letting your body speak and finally be listened to with reverence.
A Different Kind of Healing
Somatic therapy brings your body into the healing process. We work gently with breath, sensation, emotion, thought, memory, and meaning. We explore how your nervous system learned to protect you. How you learned to stay small to stay safe. How those old survival strategies are still speaking even now.
And we do this without shame. Without pushing. Without pathologizing your pain.
Because you don’t need to be fixed. You need to be felt. You need to be met, just as you are.
A Space Where You Are Not Too Much
So, if you’ve ever been told you’re too much… Too emotional. Too intense. Too reactive. This is a space where you can be all of it.
Tender. Truthful. Sensitive. Strong.
Not because you’ve changed who you are but because you’ve finally come home. To the you who always knew. To the wisdom your sensitivity was trying to show you all along.
A Practice to Honour Your Sensitivity
Reading can open the mind.
But healing often begins in the body.
If something stirred as you read if a part of you whispered yes, that’s me this practice is for you.
It’s a chance to meet your sensitivity not as a problem, but as a presence.
To listen, to soften, to let your body be heard.
