What is a highly sensitive child? How can parents help their HSC kids cope with the world?

I interviewed Judy Giovangelo energy worker, healer, artist, and founder of Ben Speaks, her non-profit raising awareness for highly sensitive kids who are at risk for self-harm and suicide.

Judy lost her son Ben to suicide when he was just 18. She and Ben made heroic progress over his 18 years and learned ways for him to cope with all the energy and emotions he absorbed like a sponge.

Her mission is to expand on that work, to be a buoy for families and siblings impacted by and managing a mental illness.

She works with kids to help them manage their energy and sensitivity to others, equips them with powerful tools to navigate life and relationships in a more grounded peaceful way, and all with her loving heart of a mama.

Judy also works with parents who’ve experienced loss as a grief counselor.

After what we’ve been through this year, struggling to stay mentally healthy, I’m happy to share her wisdom and will do what I can to give this as much exposure as I can.

ABOUT STEPH ROBERTS

Steph had the good fortune to start the earliest parts of her life in a communal Christian environment. Growing up this way as a child of a single mother to three children she saw firsthand the struggle of adults navigating power dynamics within the church and within smaller church groups. She noticed that adults had a tough time seeing the manipulation and duplicity that was so clear to her. In spite of or because of this she found herself on a path that connected her to a series of power struggles with narcissists at work and in romantic and family relationships.

That feeling of "having magnets in your pockets" for these kinds of people.

She was stuck and wanted to break free of her situation and the patterns. But when she finally did she saw that many women were experiencing the very same thing. She was not weird or weak; she was like hundreds of thousands of others who were hiding the truth from their friends and family and taking on the burden of the dysfunction in these relationships.
