A mental health expert is sharing her reasons why being sensitive or raising a sensitive child isn't a bad thing, but rather an asset.

"I think that sensitivity is something that is misunderstood quite a bit. Have you ever heard someone say, “Stop being so sensitive” or “You’re being overly dramatic!” High sensitivity is in fact an incredible quality," says Terry Warburton, the Clinical Director at Recovery of Hope Counselling in Winnipeg.

A mental health expert says that healing can come from simply walking and it helps heal the body and the soul.

"There is a wooded river trail that I walk daily. There are times when I begin my walk with something very upsetting on my mind. I rant and rave, mostly in my head, and sometimes I say things out loud," says Terry Warburton, the Clinical Director of Recover of Hope Counselling in Winnipeg. 

Mental health professional breaks down the instinct of wanting to say 'no'

The Director of local counselling services is sharing a term that explains the instinct inside of people that causes them to not want to do certain things.

"Have you ever had someone really pressure you to do something, and even though you initially wanted to do that thing, all of the pressure made you not want to do it? That is actually an instinct that we ALL have inside of us. It’s called 'counterwill,'" says Terry Warburton, Director of Recovery of Hope Counselling in Winnipeg.
