Have you ben told you are “too sensitive” or “too emotional?”

You are not alone.

Studies have shown that up to 20% of the population can be defined as highly sensitive. A highly sensitive person (HSP) is someone who experiences increased central nervous system sensitivity to physical, emotional, or social stimuli. Highly sensitive people feel deeply and are greatly impacted by what they experience in their environment. HSPs are often incredibly thoughtful, empathic, and adaptive. Yet, when overstimulated, they may feel flooded, exhausted, or filled with debilitating anxiety.

What are the characteristics of a highly sensitive person?

HSPs often:

• Feel overwhelmed by noises, bright lights, and uncomfortable clothes
• Feel highly anxious and require plenty of downtime in order to self-soothe
• Feel easily overstimulated
• Experience deep empathy for loved ones, animals, acquaintances, strangers, or even characters in books or movies
• Have heightened awareness of subtleties in their surroundings
• Are acutely aware of people’s voices and facial expressions
• Are creative and conscientious
