Hi! I'm Alane Freund.

Two Hours! Zoom link for your webinar - Let's Take the New HSP Test

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Dear Reader,

Let's take the New HSP Test, discuss the scoring, and compare it to the previous one (that has been our tool for almost 30 years.)

I will interview Elaine Aron, and then we will move into an experiential style webinar, taking tests, discussing the results, and Q&A. Helping and educational professionals are welcome (and your questions, too.)
​
If you can block off 90 minutes, that would be great. We all have lots to say and it might take that long! You will have access to the recording later, so don’t worry. However, if you leave early you might miss some of the discussion.
​
Please bring a way to take notes. Though not required, you might want to have your phone and a computer or tablet if it’s convenient (one for taking tests and one for being in the meeting.)
​
If time permits, we will try some breakout rooms for deeper discussions. You can have your video on or off, it’s up to you. However, it’s always a good idea to sign into Zoom and “check for updates” in the menu under your profile picture. It just makes everything work better.
​
If you need help with anything, we will be here via email or in the chat during the webinar to support you. Look for “Are You Highly Sensitive" (Alane’s assistant, Hwa Mi) in the participant list and ask for help.

Dear Reader, Have you noticed that your great ideas, advice, input, suggestions are sometimes not appreciated? In fact, you might have been accused of being meddling, controlling, or even hyper-critical. Sadly, it is true. We are both of these things. Thoughtful and caring AS WELL AS meddling and critical. How is one to find the balance? A fabulous tool for sharing is "Keep the focus on yourself and resist advising." This will be our first theme for Friday's HSP Tools and Topics. We have some...

Dear Reader, What happens when evolution and the forces of nature come together? Magic happens. That’s what I feel when I walk between these two room-sized boulders deposited in the jungle by an ice age glacier. The energy is powerful! The Ancient Watering Hole And sometimes those powerful forces stop you in your tracks. That is what happened in the Imiloa rio (river for you anglophiles). As the giant boulders settled, the river narrowed and stopped the water with a natural dam. Can you guess...
