Have you heard of particular children being described as, ‘too sensitive for their own good’? Are you an adult who has a rich inner world, and a keen ability to pick up subtle cues? Are you drawn to music, the arts, and spirituality?
Perhaps you’re easily overwhelmed by noise, bright lights, and busy days, and you’ve had these feelings since early childhood. Recognizing these traits in a friend or family member, could indicate that you or someone you know is what Elaine Aron terms a “highly sensitive person,” or an HSP.
Elaine Aron is a professor, psychotherapist, and novelist. It took a very personal journey and a lot of research to realize she isn’t flawed, but has an abundance of unique gifts.
As an HSP, Elaine Aron is happy to be part of this minority. Growing up, Aron battled with her family’s chaos. And although she found school and college to be academically easy, she found student life overwhelmingly difficult. Aron found herself crying a lot, and tried desperately to protect herself from the world.
