Elaine Aron-The Highly Sensitive Person
Elaine Aron – The Highly Sensitive Person
[9 CDs- MP3 + 1 eBook doc]
Description
If you find you are a highly sensitive person, or your child is, then you need to be aware of the following points:This trait is normal–it is inherited by 15 to 20% of the population, and indeed the same percentage seems to be present in all higher animals. Being an HSP means your nervous system is more sensitive to subtleties. Your sight, hearing, and sense of smell are not necessarily keener (although they may be). But your brain processes information and reflects on it more deeply. Being an HSP also means, necessarily, that you are more easily overstimulated, stressed out, overwhelmed. This trait is not something new I discovered–it has been mislabeled as shyness (not an inherited trait), introversion (30% of HSPs are actually extraverts), inhibitedness, fearfulness, and the like. HSPs can be these, but none of these are the fundamental trait they have inherited. The reason for these negative misnomers and general lack of research on the subject is that in this culture being tough and outgoing is the preferred or ideal personality–not high sensitivity. (Therefore in the past the research focus has been on sensitivity’s potential negative impact on sociability and boldness, not the phenomenon itself or its purpose.) This cultural bias affects HSPs as much as their trait affects them, as I am sure you realize. Even those who loved you probably told you, “don’t be so sensitive,” making you feel abnormal when in fact you could do nothing about it and it is not abnormal at all. more in the website:http://www.hsperson.com/
