E197 - Hyposensitivity vs. HSP/Hypersensitivity: Can They Co-Exist?


Listen Later

Being hypersensitive is easy to recognize. A heightened perception of incoming stimuli causes a quick reaction and high emotional activity.

BUT what about hyposensitive people? Are they overlooked in our society?

Today we see, if people who are less sensitive and therefore often appear a bit clumsy or forgetful are misunderstood.

We take a deep look, what hyposensitivity actually is,

Who is affected by it,

And what the difference between hypo- and hypersensitivity is.
