Welcome to the fifteenth episode of the High Sensory People Podcast with Jane Elizabeth Aston and Elisha May!

We are High Sensory People, which means that like 20-30% of the world’s population, we were born with the genetic trait now referred to as High Sensory Intelligence®. The scientific name of the trait is Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) but it’s commonly known right now as being highly sensitive. We are passionate about raising awareness about the HSP trait and reframing it from being highly sensitive to High Sensory. 

In this week’s episode we talk about the High Sensory Coaching programme that we did with Willow McIntosh at Inluminance, and how it changed us forever!

If you’re interested in finding out more about the programme this link will take you straight there.

We’ll be talking about the work we do as High Sensory Coaches on the show next week.

Welcome to the thirteenth episode of the High Sensory People Podcast with Jane Elizabeth Aston and Elisha May!

We are High Sensory People, which means that like 20-30% of the world’s population, we were born with the genetic trait now referred to as High Sensory Intelligence®. The scientific name of the trait is Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) but it’s commonly known right now as being highly sensitive. We are passionate about raising awareness about the HSP trait and reframing it from being highly sensitive to High Sensory. 

This week’s episode is the second part of our talk about extroversion vs introversion and the High Sensory trait. You can find the first part of our discussion in episode 11. 

Because HSPs tend to need a lot of time alone to recharge from a world that we find very overwhelming, it’s tempting to believe that we’re all introverts. However, the psychologist who discovered the highly sensitive trait, Dr. Elaine Aron, estimates that about 30 percent of HSPs are actually extroverts. 

If you’re looking for the other HSP adult tests, you can do the test for High Sensory Intelligence® devised by Willow McIntosh at Inluminance and Julie Bjelland’s HSP test is here.

Welcome to the twelfth episode of the High Sensory People Podcast with Jane Elizabeth Aston and Elisha May! 

This week we are joined by our first, very special guest, Willow McIntosh, who trained us to become High Sensory Coaches. Our topic is High Sensory Men; why there are so few men who are visible as HSPs, and how we can help this to change.

It’s a really wonderful discussion and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it.

Willow McIntosh is the founder of Inluminance and creator of the High Sensory Coaching Program. Unique circumstances during Willow’s childhood lead to the burying of his authentic self and complete misalignment to the work he was destined for. He began to carve his own path into understanding how people with sensory processing sensitivity can learn to use their genetic traits to their advantage. 

As an adult this led to a lifelong enquiry and practise into learning powerful energetic alignment techniques to re-engage with the authentic self. Willow believes that all people with the trait have the ability to tap into a unique skill that draws on a deeper sensory perception. Founded in their own life experience and self development they have the capacity to facilitate great transformation and development in others. 

Willow is on a mission to awaken us to the responsibility we have to utilise the abilities it affords in business, governments and leadership. Having successfully facilitated the development of seven figure businesses Willow’s practise has taken him all over the world. Speaking internationally, training in a broad range of fields and facilitating others for more than twenty years. Willow now specialises in facilitating people with the trait to activate them into service in alignment with their gifts and purpose as highly skilled coaches, facilitators, consultants and healers.

Welcome to the 11th episode of the High Sensory People Podcast with Jane Elizabeth Aston and Elisha May!

However, the psychologist who discovered the highly sensitive trait, Dr. Elaine Aron, estimates that about 30 percent of HSPs are actually extroverts. 

Jane and Elisha talk about how this fits with their experience. This is the first of (at least) two episodes on this topic!

Welcome to the tenth episode of the High Sensory People Podcast with Jane Elizabeth Aston and Elisha May! We are so grateful to everyone who helped us to get this far.

We are High Sensory People, which means that like 20-30% of the world’s population, we were born with the genetic trait now referred to as High Sensory Intelligence®. The scientific name of the trait is Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) but it’s commonly known right now as being highly sensitive. We are passionate about raising awareness about the HSP trait and reframing it from being highly sensitive to High Sensory. 

In this week’s episode we talk about the High Sensation Seeking (HSS) aspect of the trait which around 30% of HSPs have. We talk about how we both score highly on High Sensory Intelligence tests but because we are also HSS, we need to make sure we include lots of variation in our lives, we enjoy new sensations and intense experiences and love adventure (and naked swimming)!

You can do the original HSP test and the High Sensation Seeking test on Dr. Elaine Aron’s website.

The recent academic journal article on HSPs and HSS by Dr Aron and colleagues can be found here, but she has done a very helpful summary of it on her website here.

You can do the Inluminance test for High Sensory Intelligence® devised by Willow McIntosh here 

You can do Julie Bjelland’s HSP test here.

We are High Sensory People, which means that like 20-30% of the world’s population, we were born with the genetic trait now referred to as High Sensory Intelligence®. The scientific name of the trait is Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) but it’s commonly known right now as being highly sensitive.

In this week’s episode we talk about the High Sensory trait in children, and Elaine Aron’s test for HSP children, as well as our own experience of the trait when we were younger.

This is following on from the three most recent episodes (6, 7 & 8) when we discussed the key signs of being a High Sensory Person.

If you want to dig a little deeper then we recommend visiting Dr. Elaine Aron’s website where you will find the HSP test for children as well as the original HSP test for adults. Dr Aron has also written books about HSP children and HSP parents, details of these are also on her website above.

We mentioned Jenn Granneman and Andre Solo’s recent book Sensitive (published 2023), which has chapters on HSP children and parents, and is very well researched and written.
