PowerWood is the UK’s leading not-for-profit social venture committed to raising awareness and supporting people living with intensity, hyper-sensitivity and super-reactivity (overexcitability, or OE for short).

Visit the PowerWood website to find out more about OE.  Dig in deep – there’s a wealth of information and helpful resources there.

In this video (2.39 minutes) Simone de Hoogh tells the inspiring story of why she founded PowerWood.

Here are some of my favourites parts of the PowerWood website:
