Dr. Elaine Aron’s groundbreaking research on HSPs (Highly Sensitive Persons) helps us understand why this 15-20% of the population may feel like they are fundamentally different from most people they know.
At the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:
- List the five main characteristics of HSPs (Highly Sensitive Persons)
- Identify and correct common misconceptions about HSPs
- Modify their usual therapeutic style to help their HSP clients more effectively.
Dr. Laura Rosser Kreiselmaier is a Licensed Clinical Pastoral Therapist and two-time past president of the TN Association of Pastoral Therapists. A Knoxville native, she moved to Nashville in 2000 to attend Belmont University amid her first career as a professional pianist. She later received her PhD in Religion, Psychology, & Culture from Vanderbilt University (2016), where her dissertation research explored the interconnections among creativity, mystical experience, and psycho’pathology’. Happily married to fellow therapist-musician Dr. David Thornton, Laura lives in an old house with three lively felines and a 1928 baby grand Bösendorfer piano. She is honored to serve as the Lead Visionary & CEO for CATHARSIS Nashville, a new nonprofit seeking to change how mental healthcare happens.
