The Sensitive System: course and coaching for highly sensitive women
Stop avoiding conflict and start speaking up from your safe adult self
Hey I’m Gaby, your coach and your course creator…
but most importantly, I’m your guide into the depths of your own inner world and I’m the gal that’s going to help you heal from the inside out as a highly sensitive woman that avoids conflict until she snaps.
Healing from conflict avoidance as a highly sensitive person
Does this sound like you?
You feel your feelings so deeply and you care about how you make others feel; so much so that you sometimes absorb emotion from others and take responsibility over how they feel.
You feel underlying frustration, anger, and disappointment that you struggle to speak up about because you’re worried about making others feel weird, others feel angry, and you’re worried about being judged or misunderstood.
You hold back your honest feelings about things until you can’t anymore and eventually you lash out angrily and start operating in fight or flight mode.
You want to be more confident in your relationships, but you go back and forth between either avoiding conflict and then accidentally becoming overly confrontational, in a way that feels icky and in a way that leaves you with lasting shame, rumination, and uncertainty about how to move forward in your relationships.
You tend to be conflict avoidant in most relationships (like with coworkers, family members and friends) but you’re more likely to lash out on your partner when they don’t meet your needs.
If this is resonating, you might be operating from protective parts that adapted a long, long time ago.
Attachment wounding happens when we learn it's not safe to be authentic, it’s not safe to speak up honestly, and when we learn that we won’t be listened to, understood or validated in how we feel.
Somatic and Internal Family Systems Coaching through The Sensitive System
Somatic work addresses the wounding that lives in the body as those energetic knots and helps you intervene on them
The fluttering or tightness in your chest, your racing heart, your turning stomach, the trembling throughout your body, your sweating palms, or the freeze response that comes up when you wish you could speak up but you don’t…
Those are somatic indicators that attachment trauma is stuck in the body and rising up to the surface.
The overwhelming frustration, irritability, warmth in your face, tension in your arms, tightness in your throat, urge to either shout or run away…
Those are somatic indicators of those underlying needs and triggered wounds that need your attention and support.
Parts work (internal family systems informed) addresses the ways you adapted to attachment wounding
The automatic tendency to people please, the freeze response that comes up when you feel disrespected, the sensations of shrinking or retreating when you really want to push back or confidently speak up for yourself…
Those are protective managing and protective firefighting parts that are working hard to protect your from old wounds.
The lashing out, irritable, panicked or urgent fixer behaviors that come up to the surface when you feel wronged…
Those are younger exiles that have pushed their way forward and demand greater respect.

Somatics help us to notice those emotional sensations, make room for them on purpose, help them shift and change in the body, surround those sensations with compassion and safety so that we can balance our emotions with our grounding and calm.
Parts work helps us map out the internal system of protective managing parts, firefighting parts and exiled parts while we cultivate a safe adult self that collaborates with parts but won’t operate from them on auto pilot.
The Sensitive System will help you revamp your inner world through somatics and parts work
Take a look inside The Sensitive System
Weeks 1 & 2: Inner Resourcing for the HSP
Start accessing support, softening and soothing from the inside out and the outside in. Through sensory work, micro-movements, visualization practices and creative interventions, equip yourself with resources that clear the plane and create greater capacity to move through your triggered emotions with more grace and with better boundaries.
Weeks 3 & 4: Nervous System Regulation Through Somatics
Learn science-backed interventions that stimulate the vagus nerve and help bring your body out of survival mode and into rest & digest mode. Fill your toolbox with somatic interventions that put the body at ease before the mind can even begin to imagine what ease were to look like or feel like. Start shifting the way you feel in the body by cultivating greater safety around the triggered emotional sensations to start shifting the way you think in the mind.
Weeks 5 & 6: Cultivating Self Energy and Safe Adult Self
Build on your capacity to sit with and process emotions before you spiral into them by cultivating the 8 C's of Self in your own body (calm, compassion, curiosity, connection, clarity, creativity, courage, confidence). Let your coach guide you through visualizations and somatic tracking in a way that helps you sink into self energy. Begin hearing from the wisdom that comes straight from self energy and the guidance and perspective that comes directly from your safe adult self when absorbed with self energy.
Weeks 7 & 8: Mapping the Internal System & Unblending from Protectors
Follow the sensations of emotions inward; let these sensations be trailheads into the inner world and start mapping out your system of parts. Get to know when your protectors (managing or firefighting) first stepped into their roles and start hearing from them: what they feel, what they need, what they're afraid of, and what they value. Start building a relationship with your protective parts so that you can show up for them before you automatically show up as them.
Weeks 9 & 10: Connecting with Exiles
With permission from protective parts, start approaching younger exiled parts and building trust there too. Hear from the values and needs of these tender and burdened parts and start making commitments to these parts in a way that feels safe and supportive in your present life now. Map out your triggers and get to know when and how these exiles activate and start negotiating with protectors around how we better support the system, as a whole, when opposing forces are present in the mind and body.
Weeks 11 & 12: Integration in Practice
Creatively map out ways that parts can remain present in the system, but with updated roles that support greater emotional balance and a greater sense of safety. Review strengths that each part carries and find jobs for parts to do, based on what each of them values and based on where each of them thrives. Help parts celebrate one another and develop an individualized plan to remain persistent and present in your regulation journey.

This program is for you if…
You’re highly self aware but you continue to find yourself caught in the same patterns of conflict avoidance and eventual reactivity.
You’ve tried to rely on thought to overcome your patterns of people pleasing, freezing, shutting down, avoiding conflict, and then reacting on impulse… but you know you need something deeper now.
You aren’t using this as a replacement for therapy but as a way to deepen your understanding of self through educational and experiential processes with somatics and parts work.
This program is not for you if…
You’re in immediate crisis and in need of individualized therapy support.
You aren’t interested in deeper, creative body based work that involves connecting to sensations in the body, visualization practices and “woo woo” work.
You want a quick fix to the inner battles you’re navigating and you expect this program to make you stop feeling your emotions or to stop being a highly sensitive person.

There’s not much that lights me up more than seeing my clients thrive through the work
(well, there are lots of things that light me up, but thriving clients is TIGHT)
I’ve seen my clients make life changing moves as a result of somatics and parts work and I’m thrilled to bring the work to you.
As a highly sensitive person, myself, I know how powerful this work is. I’ve shifted so many of my old auto pilot patterns and while I never expect to not be highly sensitive, I do know that highly sensitive doesn’t have to equal highly stressed.
Yes, you absolutely can learn to embody the calm, confident and courageous YOU. But that doesn’t just happen because you want it to, it happens because you go deep into your internal world to heal those old wounds, show up for your protective parts, and build a new, intentional relationship to your emotions and to your body.
