“Learning that I’m a Highly Sensitive Person has helped me understand why I have felt so different from most people for my entire life and how it has impacted my relationships through the years.”
-Jan B.
Being an HSP feels like walking around with an open wound all the time. I am learning to see it as a gift and a superpower instead of a detriment.
-Emily
I think the most important thing for fellow HSPs who are seeking therapy is to have trust that you are not alone; you are not just “a weirdo” and there are people who are more than willing to talk, listen, explain, and help in any way they can.
– Andy Nelson
Had it been anyone else, I would have considered the undertaking of such a nonprofit a pipe dream. In your case, it seems a sure bet. I’m a believer. Your outstanding concert lent total credence to your commitment and the level of brilliance to see this through.
– John Pell, composer and founder of Chet Atkins’ Nashville Guitar Quartet
You have been so thorough and wise in the way you have structured the organization.  It will provide encouragement and healing to so many who have been fractured by the environment in which we live.
-Dr. William F. Cooper, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Baylor University
CATHARSIS is a vision of a place for healing, a place for fellow Nashvillians to come and seek treatment in a setting that is non-intimidating, where you can come and see a therapist, you might get a cup of coffee, you might have a massage.
-Linda Kosack, Board Chair
We need a place like CATHARSIS in Nashville because there are a lot of creatives in Nashville who need a place to get therapy, a place to be seen and a place to be heard.
-Dr. Robbie Pinter, Board Time-Keeper
CATHARSIS is body services, it’s med management, it’s psychotherapy, it’s community and belonging. It’s beautiful. What excites me most is people coming and my getting to see them feel safe.
-Dr. David Thornton, Board Secretary
The downside of being an HSP is we can struggle more, can become overstimulated more easily. We’re more susceptible to mental distress, to anxiety and depression. But these are also the folks who tend to be deeply creative and spiritual and empathic.
-Dr. Laura Kreiselmaier, Founder and CEO of CATHARSIS
