Are you pushing yourself beyond your limits? In this episode, I talk with Maya Benattar, LCAT about ways to soften into rest and connection with yourself and:
• Using music and other sensory experiences to understand your emotions more clearly
• Leaning into softness and being gentle with yourself more often • Unhooking from the pressure to always overextend yourself
• Finding the balance between doing and being, action and rest
• The importance of having your emotions and experiences be seen and held by another
Maya is a licensed music psychotherapist in private practice in NYC, helping highly sensitive women live with less anxiety, access true confidence and finally detach from "I'm not good enough". She relishes explorations around sensitivity, big feelings, family baggage, and creativity. In addition to her private practice, Maya provides wellness workshops and professional development trainings.
