Back in 1991, Psychologist Elaine Aron developed the concept of highly sensitive persons (HSPs). Today in 2023, it’s estimated roughly 15–20% of the population is highly sensitive. But wait! What does that mean? How would you recognise it as a condition? Well friends, this episode is all about unwrapping those very questions. As a HSP herself, Emily opens up about how it can positively & negatively impact day-to-day life, and some of the best ways she’s found to cope with it.
