The psychology of highly sensitive people

The life of the highly sensitive person is often misunderstood. Highly sensitive aren't just people who cry too much or get overwhelmed, take things too personally: they actually take in so much of the world that it can be too much. They feel everything, from joy to sadness, so immediately and profoundly. They are also so in tune with the emotions of all those around them that sometimes it can be too much. Today we break down the psychology of the highly sensitive person, including:

• What are the core assessment criteria for identifying if you're highly sensitive?
• What causes someone to be highly sensitive?
• The genetic, personality, parental and temperment contribution
• The link between sensitivity, IQ, EQ and creativity + the gentle superpower of sensitive people
• Do highly sensitive people have more empathy?
• The link between neurodivergence and sensitivity
• How to explain your sensitivity to others
• How to make the world work for your gentle, feeling soul, and so much more!
