Have you ever wondered why someone is so sensitive? Or perhaps you've wondered if you're being sensitive or even overly sensitive. What if there was data that supported that there may be reasons behind feeling things more, both physically and emotionally, than the average person. Maybe you can sense someone else's feelings, or are deeply moved by music or the beauty of nature. Sensitive to crowds, loud sounds, itchy fabrics? These are just a few things that could be indicators of being an HSP. In the 1990s Dr. Elaine Aron pioneered research on the topic of what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP.) Dr. Elizabeth Scott provides her expertise on this topic and dives deep on what it means to be an HSP, how to cope with it, and sheds light on how being an HSP may be linked to being a child of a narcissist! You can take a quiz that is linked through Dr. Scott's Verywell Mind article that is linked below.
