Synopsis

A highly sensitive person (HSP) is a term for those who have an increased central nervous system sensitivity to physical, emotional or social stimuli. High sensitivity is not a ‘condition’, it is a normal human trait. This book explores what it means and feels to experience life as a highly sensitive person. HSPs comprise about a fifth of the human population, both male and female, although it may be less observable in the behaviour of many males because of upbringing and cultural stereotypes. One of the greatest pains for anyone is to feel thwarted in their ability to contribute and communicate.

About the Author

Author Mark Wells is himself an HSP and as a practitioner has worked with thousands of HSPs over 35 years. He provides a powerful and convincing ‘voice’ for HSPs that encourages the less sensitive majority to understand and appreciate the valuable contribution someone with high sensitivity makes to the world. Wells says: “I gain great satisfaction from assisting other HSPs ― adults and children ― to live healthy, contented and productive lives, which make room for their sensitivity and respect their depth of feeling and perception.”
