Understanding Disordered Eating: Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image Healing

113. Highly Sensitive People and Eating Disorders


Listen Later

Everybody has emotions.

 

This isn’t a new concept. However, in more recent years, we’ve started to give names to everything as a way to “label” each other or give an overall meaning to how someone may feel, act, etc. (Labels are usually meant to organize things, not necessarily bad.) So somewhere along the way, we started to label certain individuals as “highly sensitive people”.

 

Everyone is sensitive to a certain extent, but some are more sensitive than others, hence, highly sensitive. The question is, how did it come to be that somebody might be highly sensitive and the next person is just not?  Why do we assume people are just born this way? Is it genetic? Is it because of their personality?
