Do you sometimes feel like an alien?

Like the whole world overwhelms you? And do other people always tell you: “You’re too sensitive?”

Well, then you might be a highly sensitive person, who perceives stimuli more intensely.

But strangely, though, that's not enough. On top of that, somehow we as highly sensitive people magically attracted a traumatic childhood.

We seem to struggle more and recover less from past wounds.

Why that is the case and what you can do about it, you will see in this video.
