From Lori L. Cangilla, PhD:
Wander and Delve
A Journal for Bright, Creative, Highly Sensitive People Forging Their Way
For sensitive idealists and activists who want to change themselves—and the world. And who don’t want to burn out or give into despair in the process.
About Wander and Delve
Are you sensitive, bright, idealistic, creative—and struggling? Does it seem like you’re either too much (too sensitive, too thoughtful, too “out there”) or not enough (not conventional enough, not able to go along to get along)? Is it hard to accept who you are because you just don’t seem to fit?
Wander and Delve: A Journal for Bright, Creative, Highly Sensitive People Forging Their Way is your guide to charting a course through the wilderness of your mind and heart, so that you can face the world and reach your goals. In the process, you’ll build a Singularly Sensitive lifestyle that is both authentic and sustainable.
Wander and Delve incorporates dozens of SensiStories—metaphors, analogies, and other linguistic outpourings—that help you take a fresh look at yourself. The SensiStories invite you to choose CHAOS, making commitments to:
Change,
Hope,
Authenticity,
Overcoming obstacles, and
Self-Compassion.
Licensed Psychologist Lori L. Cangilla, Ph.D., brings her years of clinical experience with highly sensitive people and her background as a certified forest therapy guide (CFTG) to Wander and Delve. Journaling about the elements of CHAOS will help you find the confidence and competence to reach your goals and shine in your own Singularly Sensitive way.

— April Snow, LMFT, licensed psychotherapist and author of Find Your Strength: A Workbook for the Highly Sensitive Person
“Dr. Cangilla has created a journal where creative, bright, and highly sensitive people have space to appreciate their unique gifts, strengths, and needs. She encourages an ongoing process of exploration, experimentation, and integration when journaling (and in life) to “forge” your own path. Dr. Cangilla emphasizes there is “no right way” to use the journal or to engage in this process….Wander and Delve is a helpful resource for people working to create an authentic life.”
— Rebecca Taylor, Psy.D., OTR/L, Licensed Psychologist, HSP-Knowledgeable Therapist
“ I loved this guided journal. The questions had a lot of symbolic aspects, which I absolutely love. And how they were framed was interesting. It’s also easy to see (and appreciate) when an author has a lived experience of something. This journal felt very much like that – coming from someone’s lived and felt experience with their sensitivity. If you enjoy journaling, you’ll enjoy Wander and Delve. Like me, it may give you sparks of new insight!”
— Ritu Kaushal, author of The Empathy’s Journey
