Content Description 

Many clinicians work with Highly Sensitive (HSP) folks without realizing it, which can cause them to miss important opportunities to provide tailored care in the perinatal period. High Sensitivity can be intensified in the perinatal period, and can interact with Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders in unique ways. This course will help you to understand the HSP trait, how it manifests in clients, how to differentiate High Sensitivity from clinical diagnoses, and how to effectively support and treat HSP clients in your practice.

1. Describe the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) trait as it presents in diverse populations.
