About this deal

This book is written specifically about highly sensitive people and their careers. If you find it difficult to fit into your company’s culture or you feel frustrated about finding a career that works for you, this book will give you a few pointers. It also paints non-HSPs in a bad light, as those prone to aggressive, even violent, behavior, uncaring about environmental issues, the evil corporate CEO, etc. Makes it sound like the author thinks all social liberals are HSPs, who are loving, nurturing, caring and peaceful people and all social conservatives are non-HSPs and evil warmongers out to destroy the environment. In the last chapter, the author also provides a guideline to help you set up your own HSP discussion group.

Learn to safely share your amazing qualities of empathy, compassion, creativity, healing, and much more with the worldThis book contains a little too much psychobabble for my taste (too much talk about parenting your inner infant and other wonderful stuff like that - without all of that I would have given it five stars) but I am glad I read it because I finally understand why I am so weird. Now I know why I can be such an introvert even though I love being around people, why I can't handle people playing with my hair, why I can't remember people's names when I meet them for the first time, why I have such a low tolerance for alcohol, caffeine, and most medications, why I can't stand wearing wool scarves, why I startle so easily.....and many more traits that I thought were just part of my personality - mental quirks that I've developed over the years. Now I know that all of my weirdness is genetic and I'm pretty sure I lovingly passed it onto my oldest child.

Empath Healing by Marianne Gracie is a complete emotional healing guide for HSPs and Empaths which focuses on “the emotional healing which Empaths require to help them build up the inner strength to go out into the world as their best selves.” Any of the activities could bring up strong feelings.If that happens, I do urge you to seek professional help.If you are now in therapy, this book should fit well with your work there.The ideas here might even shorten the time you will need therapy as you envision a new ideal self—not the culture's ideal but your own, someone you can be and maybe already are.But remember that this book does not substitute for a good therapist when things get intense or confusing.Aron writes of her own and other HSPs ’stories and how they have used their skills to help others and themselves to grow and live full lives. She writes of all the research that went into this book with many helpful tips on exploring your sensitivity and using it to your advantage. Elaine Aron has a doctoral degree in clinical psychology and a thriving psychotherapy practice. She is the first therapist to tell HSPs how to identify their trait and make the most of it in everyday situations. An HSP herself, Aron reassures others that they are quite normal. Their trait is not a flaw or a syndrome, nor is it a reason to brag. It is an asset they can learn to use and protect. PDF / EPUB File Name: The_Highly_Sensitive_Person_-_Elaine_Aron.pdf, The_Highly_Sensitive_Person_-_Elaine_Aron.epub Highly sensitive children face unique challenges as they grow up. They have unique gifts but without the right parenting or schooling, they can be shy or problematic. Most of us feel overstimulated every once in a while, but for the highly sensitive person, it’s a way of life. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Elaine Aron, a highly sensitive person herself, shows you how to identify this trait in yourself and make the most of it in everyday situations.

Do you often sense things that other people ignore such as bright lights and strong smells? Do you find it hard to cope with time pressure? The only reason I gave this 4 stars and not 5 is because I think the author may lose readers when going in depth into subjects like psychotherapy, early childhood being the cause of most adult problems, and spiritual beliefs. Not to say some won't find this information helpful, but that it makes the book a more dense read, and in my opinion, strays from the main subject. Sensitivity is valued differently in different cultures. In cultures where it is not valued, HSPs tend to have low self-esteem. They are told “don’t be so sensitive” so that they feel abnormal.Reframing.You must actively reframe much of your past in the light of knowing you came into the world highly sensitive.So many of your "failures" were inevitable because neither you nor your parents and teachers, friends and colleagues, understood you.Reframing how you experienced your past can lead to solid self-esteem, and self-esteem is especially important for HSPs, for it decreases our overarousal in new (and therefore highly stimulating) situations. I am easily overwhelmed by things like bright lights, strong smells, coarse fabrics, or sirens close by. Authentic healing is a difficult experiential process, with breakthroughs of joy interspersed with extended times of hard graft and challenge, even more intensified for Highly Sensitive People than for others. Having been just one of Mel’s many teachers, I know that she has long been committed to such a soul-path, and find it hard to imagine anyone who would not benefit from reading her book. She writes inspiringly from deep experience, and can be trusted to convey truth.” —Jen Kershaw, psychotherapist and member of Soul-Voyagers Network Next, this book considers the impact of your sensitivity on your personal history, career, relationships, and inner life.It focuses on the advantages you may not have thought of, plus it gives advice about typical problems some HSPs face, such as shyness or difficulty finding the right sort of work.
