Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
A highly sensitive person has a sensory processing sensitivity trait that allows them to process physical, social, and emotional stimuli at a much deeper level than non-highly sensitive individuals. It is not a medical illness or disorder, and about 15-20% of people have this trait. HSP's are more susceptible to get drained quickly from busy schedules and overstimulation, be their own worst critic, and internalize negativity if they are unaware of how to protect their mental health, which can lead them to acquire any of a number of unhelpful issues. Rapid Transformational Therapy helps to provide relief from many of the issues that an HSP might be affected by, such as anxiety, burnout, low self-esteem, depression, perfectionism, and poor stress-coping by implementing helpful suggestions directly to the subconscious of such things as: having powerful coping skills, suggestions of worth and value and purpose, empowerment beliefs, etc. Being an HSP myself, I have insight and experience as to what another highly sensitive person may need, and can provide ongoing support.

Athens is home to the University of Georgia and has cultivated a reputation as one of the South's most vibrant college cities, with a legendary music scene—birthplace of R.E.M. and the B-52s—a strong arts community, and a progressive political culture that contrasts with the surrounding rural Georgia context, producing a city with a well-developed and diverse therapy landscape relative to its size. UGA's Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) is the primary mental health resource for the city's enormous student population, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the broader community including university staff, the arts and music community, and permanent residents. The sharp economic inequality between the university and creative communities and the city's lower-income and Black neighborhoods is an important dimension of the mental health landscape, and therapists in Athens work across a wide range of economic and cultural contexts. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, creative community stress, identity and LGBTQ+ issues, racial equity, and the challenges of a city where prosperity and poverty exist in close proximity.
