Was school overwhelming for you? In this episode, I talk with Dr. Kaaryn Cater about the impact of the classroom environment on a highly sensitive student and:
- How teachers and parents can support highly sensitive students to thrive and feel less overwhelmed
- What highly sensitive teachers can do to manage the sensory overwhelm and exhaustion from working in schools
- What strengths highly sensitive students can embody when offered the right supports such as mindfulness, access to nature, and time for reflection
Dr. Cater is an educator, coach, speaker, and researcher with more than 30 years of experience across education, coaching, and professional development. She is the founder of The Mindwise Connection and specialises in supporting highly sensitive children, adolescents, and adults, as well as the people who live, learn, and work alongside them. Her work focuses on sensitivity education, nervous system balance, and helping highly sensitive people use their strengths to thrive in learning, work, and life. Through her coaching and consultancy practice, she offers individual and family coaching, professional development for educators and practitioners, and consultancy for organisations seeking to create more inclusive and responsive environments.
