Title: The Highly Sensitive Person Pdf

Are You A Highly Sensitive Person?

Do you have a keen imagination and vivid dreams? Is time alone each day as essential to you as food and water? Are you "too shy" or "too sensitive" according to others? Do noise and confusion quickly overwhelm you? If your answers are yes, you may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).

Most of us feel overstimulated every once in a while, but for the HSP, it's a way of life. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Elaine Aron, a clinical psychologist, workshop leader, and an HSP herself, shows you how to identify this trait in yourself and make the most of it in everyday situations. Drawing on her many years of research and hundreds of interviews, she shows how you can better understand yourself and your trait to create a fuller, richer life. Updated with a new Author's Note, including the latest scientific research, and a fresh discussion of anti-depressants for HSPs, this edition of The Highly Sensitive Person also includes:

Self-assessment tests to help you identify your particular sensitivities
Ways to reframe your past experiences in a positive light and gain greater self-esteem in the process
Insight into how high sensitivity affects both work and personal relationships
Tips on how to deal with overarousal
Information on medications and when to seek help
Techniques to enrich the soul and spirit

"Elaine Aron's perceptive analysis of this fundamental dimension of human nature is must reading. Her balanced presentation suggests new paths for making sensitivity a blessing, not a handicap." —Philip G. Zimbardo, author of Shyness

"Enlightening and empowering, this book is a wonderful gift to us all." –Riane Ensler, author of The Chalice and the Blade

I would suggest something more recent in the field. Reading this book, i felt as i was looking at a mirror. Elaine goes into details regarding the way an HSP feels, the way we are raised, how we perceive the world, our habits, as well as the challenges we face in the world. It makes you really feel identified and i a way special, after years of being treated the opposite, this book DOES make you feel special.The cons that I can’t ignore is that the writing is not the best. There were errors and awkwardness in the way it was written, also poor analogies and at times it would be confusing.More important yet is the fact that the research feels lacking. Elaine started her research in 1992 and this book was published just 4-5 years later. That is hardly enough time to come up with bold claims about society. Claiming that a percentage of the population have this trait changes everything, the way we see the world and ourselves. So all the claims made feel as speculation if there is not a proper research. She cites examples of patients and even real life artists and other famous people that lived long ago and she claims were HSP.I believe her conclusions are correct and feel very identified with this trait but I can’t think the trait exist unless there is enough research. Sure this is a research hard to conduct but still, these are life changing conclusions that can’t be taken blindly.Now this book is very old and Elaine probably wrote newest content in the field with more research involved. So i will look forward to read more of her work. I repeat, i feel the content is real and i feel i am an HSP but my review is meant to make HSPs aware that we need a stronger foundation and understanding of where we come from, maybe one day people will have more answers but for now i am using this space to pose the questions so that when other HSPs doubt the trait is real we already have answers that prove it.THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING I'm actually only partway into this book and wow. Wow. WOW. If you're reading my review right now and you've never heard the term Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) before, stop right now, open a different tab, and google it. Read stuff for a few minutes. If anything you've googled resonates, BUY THIS BOOK IMMEDIATELY. Basically the author is the primary source for most of what you'll read online, and she has a very pleasant to read way of laying out the research and making it clear what things we know about HSPs and how and why we know them... it's like reading a well-organized textbook written by a friend you like. 15%-ish percent of us were born with brains that process this way, and if you're one of us, knowing about it will save you a heckuva lot of therapy, stress, and self-loathing.This may be the best book I have read in years This may be the best book I have read in years. Maybe a decade. I was a year and a half into a very stressful job with a bully boss when I found this book -- I'd heard about it for years but thought the title sounded girlie and wimpy so I hesitated to read it. I don't like gooey, emotional, sappy stuff. Well guess what... no sap here. Or at least so little sap that a person who doesn't like sappy didn't really notice. Instead I found a smart, astute, science-based book which explained to me why I was slowly dying at my job, why I could not sleep at night, and why I was so stressed at work that I literally could not stomach my sandwich at lunch but would almost throw it up every day (but I could eat at home) -- I was operating at a level of physical stress which was impossible for a highly sensitive person to sustain, and yet I was somehow sustaining it. (I am very stubborn.) Once I actually looked at myself, looked at my actual situation, stopped blaming myself for being "weak" and "broken" and "not tough enough" and stopped trying to be what I am not, I saw clearly that I was ignoring my physical body's symptoms of extreme stress and hurting myself bad. Reading this was a wake up call at a time in my life when I really needed it, and gave me enough confidence to finally stand up to my impossible to please, bullying, manipulative boss and just quit. I am going back to school and retraining to become a software developer so that I can work in an environment that won't kill me. Not everyone is the same; everyone has different physical tolerances. If you find yourself "too sensitive" etc, give yourself a break. You are not a clone of the extrovert next to you. Pay attention to your body and read this book. IF YOU ARE AN EXTROVERT, PLEASE READ THIS BOOK. If you are NOT highly sensitive, please read this book!!! I wish to God every human being would read this book so people could finally start understanding each other, and society in general would stop hurting those among them who are not built with the same nervous system that the 80% majority of humanity has!!!! This has nothing to do with race boundaries, religion, nationality... this is all about pure genetics and how our species (in fact how over 100 species on this planet) function. It's ground breaking work.
