SENSITIVE PEOPLE
Building Inner Confidence: Overcoming the Fear of Self-Promotion 
Suzanne Simpson
Have you gone through life always being told you are just too sensitive? As a uniquely sensitive person many times you may feel less empowered to promote yourself in your relationship and career compared with a more assertive temperament. High sensitivity is a trait in 15-20 percent of the population. You may feel overwhelmed by the pace of our fast paced world and have difficulty achieving balance. Learn to identify the characteristics and work with various energy clearing practices such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to overcome beliefs that limit you from feeling inner confidence to assert yourself.
Suzanne Simpson, a licensed therapist and life renewal coach, has worked for over 20 years helping people connect to themselves, discover personal empowerment, and design a renewed life path. As a Uniquely Sensitive Person herself, she practices a holistic lifestyle of integrating the heart, body, and spirit to allow her to live according to her design.
