Therapist Julie Bjelland interviews Sydney James in this brief excerpt from an HSP Podcast episode.
Sydney notes "Being a Highly Sensitive Person has its own unique set of challenges and beautiful moments.
"When we factor in the added worldview of being a person of color, it changes the way in which we identify and relate to our sensitivities and sometimes we may not give ourselves permission to show up authentically...
"I want my HSP audience to receive the message that they don't have to align with the narrative that sensitivity means weakness and can embrace that side of themselves if it's there."
The page for this episode of the HSP Podcast adds:
"Sydney promotes healing, nurturing an authentic self-image and strengthening relationships in all that she does.
"Sydney is on a mission through The Sensitive Black Girl community to empower black women to embrace their sensitivity as a superpower and meet other women they can relate to. She is also the owner of Black On Black Therapy, a virtual safe space supportive of sensitive souls, LGBTIQ+ affirming and social justice oriented.
"Sydney is a Highly Sensitive Black Woman herself and dedicated to continuing the conversation of the HSP trait in the black community. www.blackonblacktherapy.com
