Thriving as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) (1/6)

Thriving as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) (1/6) – 6-part series

Dr. Alexandra Perel-Winkler

Are you easily overwhelmed by such things as bright lights, strong smells, loud noises or everything at once? Do you get rattled when you have a lot to do in a short amount of time? Do you feel other people’s emotions strongly? Have you always been ‘sensitive’?

In 1991, Dr. Elaine Aron coined the term “Highly Sensitive People” after a trait was uncovered in the human brain and nervous system, largely called Sensory Processing Sensitivity. While 15-20% of the human population (as well as 100s of animals) have this trait, meaning it is beneficial to the population at large, little is understood about it and people who have it often find it a burden. The trait leads to differences in process information from surroundings, internally and has great implications of people’s identity and relationships.

In our modern world being highly sensitive does not always feel like a gift, and yet you are one of the special 15-20% that have this trait.
