Compassionate Conversations with Esther Kane, MSW
Compassionate Conversations is all about getting honest and real with yourself, letting go of the past, along with behaviour patterns which are no longer serving you, and growing into the person you have always wanted to become.
As a highly sensitive person (HSP) as well as being a psychotherapist specializing in highly sensitive people with almost three decades of experience, I will share the tools and tips which have helped both me and my highly sensitive clients completely transform their lives: owning their power, speaking their voice, and squeezing the juice out of life!
Please join us in these Compassionate Conversations and share with people who could also benefit.

Compassionate Conversations with Esther Kane, MSW
Why Highly Sensitive People Self-Abandon
If you're a deeply feeling, intuitive, and empathetic person who often puts others first, this episode is for you. Esther Kane, MSW explores the real reasons why HSPs are more prone to self-abandoning behaviours—like people-pleasing, over-apologizing, or saying “yes” when you want to say “no.” This isn’t about weakness—it’s about your sensitive nervous system, emotional depth, and how you’ve learned to survive in a world that can feel too much.
