Does this sound familiar? 

You struggle with so much stress, overwhelm, and anxiety.

You have constant worry and racing thoughts that won’t stop from daily stressors running in your head.

It's hard to relax, sleep and move through your day in general.

You are taking on other’s emotions much of the time and it's hard to shut it off.

My name is Greg Konick

I help sensitive people who are struggling with high stress, overwhelm and anxiety. 

I know from personal experience that sensitive and highly sensitive people (HSP) can learn to feel more calm and relaxed using a holistic approach.

My work with you combines Reiki Healing and Mindset Strategies to soothe the racing, worry thoughts.

What coping strategies have you already tried to stop the anxiety and overwhelm?

Maybe you have had some unhealthy coping strategies:

• Isolating from others
• Drinking alcohol excessively or using drugs
• Overeating
• Overthinking/Worry- thinking this will help you solve the problem
• Trying to Overcontrol others and things in your life

You have also tried some healthier coping strategies:

• Meditation
  
• Exercise
• Journaling

All of these provided some

short term relief

but did not last long. The stress and anxiety keeps coming back.

When you’ve tried to set boundaries with others, the people-pleasing and saying "no" continues to be challenging. When people push back on your boundaries, you don’t know what to do.

My HSP Anxiety story:

I have been where you are. I felt anxiety and overwhelm often for much of my life. 

• I was becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist, supporting my clients, raising my kids, and feeling a high amount of stress.
• I had a hard time relaxing in my life. I kept going and going all the time, while neglecting my self care.
• I had worry thoughts often and it was hard to stop the thoughts at times.
• I kept putting others’ needs ahead of mine. I would take on others’ emotions and often wanted others’ approval.

........................

That led to people pleasing often.

....................

I decided I needed relief. I tried some of the Psychology strategies I teach as a Therapist, but it was not enough. They would only work short-term, and the anxiety would come back again.

I realized I needed to do something different.

What worked for me:

After a major life event (mysterious I know), I became a Reiki practitioner. When I started combining Reiki with Psychology and Mindset Strategies, while also forming a consistent daily routine, my life finally began to change.

• I noticed that my anxiety was decreasing significantly, and I had much less worry and ruminating thoughts.
• I felt like I now had more freedom and control over my thoughts and feelings. I also felt more grounded.
• I had learned to be more Present as much as possible on a daily basis, and I noticed how much that also helped with reducing anxiety.

I had also learned to be more consistent with putting my needs and self-care at the front, while continuing to be there for my children, as well as helping clients and colleagues.

....................

And this growth allowed me to stop People Pleasing, set more healthy boundaries, and develop strategies to not take on other’s emotions.

You are not alone:

It is not your fault that you are highly sensitive and you feel stress, overwhelm and anxiety more deeply than others. 

It has been hard at times in your life because 

"younger you" may have been bullied because of it. 

You were told by friends and family that you are being too sensitive 

when you cried or reacted in a sensitive way. 

You felt misunderstood, because others don’t understand what it is like to be more sensitive.

In addition, you have been picking up others emotions and energy since you were young. 

Society does not recognize someone who is sensitive, as they expect you to just “suck it up” and push forward.

It feels like you are not being accepted by others, and are feeling judged by them for being who you are.


........................

They don’t know what it is like to have sensitivities, such as the lighting in a room affecting you, feeling all the energy of being in large crowds, and needing solitary time at times to “recharge” after engaging in social situations.

....................

It feels like you have to be Perfect in everything you do in your life, just to measure up.

What can help you too:

You need help to stop picking up others’ emotions, to stop the worry thoughts, to reduce overwhelm and anxiety… and it comes as a combination of strategies.

And one essential ingredient is Reiki!

Reiki is universal healing energy.  It clears out your energy blocks in the body, which allows for those other strategies to be more effective. 

Reiki, in combination with working on your thoughts, doing mindfulness strategies, and other self care, is a powerful boost to help you obtain more long term relief.
