I am a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Once I began to learn more and more about the character trait, I began to understand myself better and, as a result, felt better. I absolutely love supporting other Highly Sensitive Persons on their journey of self-discovery and acceptance. It is the one place I feel useful and impactful. I love being an HSP now. And I am passionate about helping other HSPs to embrace themselves, too. HSPs are wonderful and can be delicate, but can also be hugely impactful to our world/environment simply by being our loving selves. It is an honor to watch that self-knowledge unfold in others.
I absolutely loved this book. It was honestly life-changing for me. Dr Aron’s book helped me realize who and what I am, and why I felt poorly all the time. This book gave me permission to be my full self and to be beautifully sensitive.
Dr Aron uses personal pronouns, which pulled me right into the world of Sensitives. She wrote in medical/western terms which I appreciated because it was a scientific explanation of being sensitive. Therefore, I could accept myself more easily and embrace a big part of who I am.

I loved this book because it helped me delve further into being a Highly Sensitive Person. The reason I loved this book so much is that it describes and explains the Sensitive in a different way. Dr. Orloff explains the Sensitive/Empath in a more energetic way, on a “higher” level.
This helped me understand an even bigger part of myself as a Sensitive. Dr. Orloff’s book offers quizzes that helped me identify whether I was an empath and what kind of empath I was. She offers insight with little tips and techniques sprinkled throughout the book, which I have found to be quite helpful.
What is the difference between having empathy and being an empath? "Having empathy means our heart goes out to another person in joy or pain," says Judith Orloff, MD. "But for empaths it goes much further. We actually feel others' emotions, energy, and physical symptoms in our own bodies, without the usual defenses that most people have." With The Empath's Survival Guide, Dr. Orloff offers a practical tool set to help sensitive people develop healthy coping mechanisms in our high-stimulus world-while fully embracing the empath's gifts of intuition, compassion, creativity, and spiritual connection.
This book follows the journey of a writer in search of wisdom as he narrates encounters with 12 distinguished American men over 80, including Paul Volcker, the former head of the Federal Reserve, and Denton Cooley, the world’s most famous heart surgeon.
In these and other intimate conversations, the book…
Doreen Virtue’s book describes yet another way to consider being a Sensitive. Earth Angels is her term for Highly Sensitive Persons. I have always been drawn to the more spiritual side of things, and I loved the way Ms. Virtue brought that higher energy into my focus.
I loved the way she describes Sensitives as Earth Angels, Elements, or Wizards. This viewpoint helped me incorporate more fantasy and magic into being a Sensitive. She helped me realize just how special and important being a Sensitive is and, therefore, how important it was that I understand myself and how I can assist the world.
A Pocket Guide for Incarnated Angels, Elementals, Starpeople, Walk-Ins, and Wizards! If you feel different from other people, as if you were dropped off on this planet and wonder when the bus is coming by to take you Home, then you may be an Earth Angel. If you have a passion or talent for healing, teaching, or helping others, yet you yourself have struggled with addictions, relationship challenges, and such, then . . . you may be an Earth Angel. In this fascinating book, Dr. Doreen Virtue helps you understand how your spiritual-realm origin has affected your life's mission, personality,…
Granddaughter Crow’s book was immensely helpful to me. With her book, I realized yet more sides to being a Highly Sensitive Person. I realized that HSPs can be natural Shamans AND understandably may have more Shadow sides to uncover and embrace.
Not only did Granddaughter Crow help me understand this, but her book also walked me through meeting my shadow side and taught me how to work with it and accept that formerly shunned side. Warning: If you are a Sensitive, this book WILL impact you, so be ready.
Work with your shadows from a shamanistic point of view with Granddaughter Crow's fourstep system.

I loved reading this book; it solidified my theory of the importance of Sensitives. Ms. Cain writes of introverts and their impact on society and history. It was very empowering for me personally, as well as supported my research professionally.
70% of Highly Sensitive Persons are introverted, and therefore, Ms. Cain’s book helped me to further understand the trait and, therefore, myself. Her research taught me that as an introverted Highly Sensitive Person, I too can contribute in my fashion to society.

A SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE HOW YOU SEE INTROVERTS - AND YOURSELF - FOREVER.
Our lives are driven by a fact that most of us can't name and don't understand. It defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we choose, and whether we blush when we're embarrassed.
That fact is whether we're an introvert or an extrovert.
The most fundamental dimension of personality, at least a third of us are introverts, and yet shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often seen as…
