What is neurodivergence emotional Hypersensitivity
It’s about constantly being atuned to your environment. The hypersensitive captures and feels everything, from the visible to the invisible, from the concrete to the emotional, what belongs to him/her or not. All this impacts the nervous system: mood, stress, fatigue… Thus, hypersensitivity can lead to constant tension in the body and mind, leading to hypervigilance or even anxiety.
The Weight…
Hypersensitives KNOW themselves to be different; often making them feel odd and misunderstood. This can lead to isolation, lack of self-worth and self-confidence, and even prioritizing the needs of others. So, aside from stress management strategies, the recognition and prioritization of their own needs are important aspects of my coaching.

- Stress and anxiety management.
- Self-regulation capacities.
- Accompanying your hypersensitive child.
- Expanding comfort zones and self-confidence.
- Strengthening self-esteem and self-worth.
- Expressing emotions and needs.

Considering the Holistic Approach to emotional hypersensitivy
Among the support and tools I can provide, reviewing certain lifestyle habits may also be useful. As well, medication or natural supplements that can greatly benefit the nervous system can be explored with a healthcare professional — I’m happy to refer one if needed.
Children aged 10 and under
During this period, the well-being of children mostly rely on co-regulation; fundamental needs for security and connection being met from parental interactions. That is why helping parents to better recognize their children’s needs and provide appropriate modeling can go a longer way in helping them.

The Different Expressions:
Emotional
To intensely feel emotions, sometimes to the point of loosing control of them.
Extra-sensory (energetical)
The body emmits electromagnetic frequencies constantly. Therefore, it is possible, for those sensitive or attentive enough, to pick up on or absorb those kinds of information; others’ emotions, moods, intentions, tensions, etc. For children, this type of hypersensitivity can easily become a source of anxiety!
Immediate (very common among children)
To have immediate, often physical, reactions when an emotion is felt. For example; having a tummy ache when feeling anxious.
Retarded or displaced
Having feelings that stretch over time, which can bring back memories that make us re-experience past emotions or traumas. (Increases susceptibility to depression).
Sensory (touch)
Sensations on the skin that are often difficult to bear or tolerate.
Olfactory (smells)
Increased sensitivity to smells; which are often associated with memories or emotions.
Auditory (noises)
Increased discomfort to certain sounds and noises. Difficulty with rapid or extreme acoustic variations.
Electrosensitivity
Accute sensitivity to electromagnetic fields. This can cause an array of ailments; headaches, vertigos, paliptations, brain fog, skin problems, intense fatigue, etc.
Common Difficulties:
Hypersensitivity and feeling vulnerable often go hand in hand. This may heighten vigilance and reinforce the need for protection… translating itself into different self-limiting behaviors:
- Needing solitude and isolation.
- Avoiding attention and wanting to become invisible.
- Fear of speaking in groups and standing up for yourself.
- Difficulty recognizing and expressing your own needs.
- Taking on other’s well-being on your shoulders.
- Having to continiously project the image of a strong person!!
- Melancholy caused by a lack of authenticity and fear of being your true self.
- Fatigue and lack of energy… because all of these behaviors eat away at your inner resources!
Why does anxiety get in the mixde l’hypersensibilité émotionnelle
We could sum up anxiety as a constant negative anticipation of life situations. This is caused by a persistant physiological reaction to stress, combined with a fertile imagination. It then provokes a nervous system overload; which can have dire physical, mental and emotional impacts.
Our emotional reactions are managed by the cerebral amygdala, whose role is to filter what we perceive into two categories: pleasant and safe or unpleasant and threathening. When we perceive a threath, the amygdala reacts in 3 different ways: fight, flight, or freeze.
Usually, the physiological stress response (cortisol, adrenaline) dissipates when the threath dissapears; a process that greately imply our eyes.
Unfortunately, the many informations perceived by the various forms of hypersensitivity are invisible to the eye and tend to stimulate the imagination more. Therefore, fighting or fleeing an invisible threath becomes impossible and tiresome for the brain! At some point, the only reaction left is “freeze”… thus creating a sense of powerlessness!
And so, while this powerlessness continues to be felt inside, the physiological stress response can never truly settle down. In the long run, this can bring on chronic stress, or even anxiety.
