Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS), CPTSD and Narcissistic Abuse Survivors: The Connection

As a survivor of narcissistic abuse, you've got a LOT happening - and one of the little issues you might not even really be aware of is called Sensory Processing Sensitivity - or SPS. It can be a side-effect of the trauma and toxic abuse you experienced being in a relationship with someone who has narcissistic personality disorder.

What it Means to be Highly Sensitive

High sensitivity is a normal trait found in roughly 20% of the population, so it's quite common. The proper term for this trait is Sensory-Processing Sensitivity or SPS. The brains of those with SPS function a little differently than those without the trait. Nearly all animals have demonstrated this trait, including dogs, cats, fish, and horses. Even insects can have the SPS trait.

If you or someone you know is a highly sensitive person, understanding this trait can be helpful. There's no known "cure," and there's no need for one. One out of five people have the SPS trait. It doesn't require treatment, but learning how to manage it can be useful in certain situations.

In this video, I'll share 8 traits of someone with SPS and explain how to cope with this condition.
