About the Research Project
Deepening Our Understanding of the Highly Sensitive Intuitive Empathic Connection
What’s the Project?
This is a research project for deepening our understanding of the journey connecting with our intuition.
The study is first and foremost an open and supportive space hearing each person's unique experience. From that information the study analyzed if there are any trends in people's experiences in case the learnings could be supportive for others on their experience.
This is a review-board approved research project approved by the Heartland Institutional Review Board. It consisted of 25-40 minute virtual interviews with highly sensitive intuitive empathic persons 18 years or older. All interviews were voluntary and asked 5 open-ended questions on people’s journey connecting with their intuition. Data is anatomized and aggregated. The data is analyzed using a Grounded Theory approach.
