What is High Sensitivity?Discovered by Dr. Elaine Aron 25 years ago, her research revealed that this trait is found in 20% of all people. It’s characterised by a finely tuned nervous system and an acute awareness of subtleties. It's not just a personality quirk; it's a neurological difference that brings with it a unique set of strengths and challenges. HSPs process the world around them very deeply, have strong emotional responses and are naturally very empathic. HSPs get overstimulated easily and often have sensory sensitivity to things such as food, noise, lighting etc.If you’re curious about the HSP trait you can take the self-test here. HSPs are known as Orchids in this model. <a href="https://sensitivityresearch.com/self-tests/adult-self-test/" title="https://sensitivityresearch.com/self-tests/adult-self-test/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://sensitivityresearch.com/self-tests/adult-self-test/</a> About Teji:Teji ("Tay-gee") is an HSP living in Brighton for about 20 years. His heritage is Indian but he's really from London. He works as a teacher and enjoys writing, acting, football and volleyball. His life has included addiction, dysfunction and struggle in all areas. He manages these things with medication, therapy, 12 step work and a certain panache.About Cindy:I'm an HSP, a psychotherapist and I know from my own and other’s experiences how vital it is for HSPs to meet other HSPs to validate and normalise the trait. I’ve have been working with HSPs for 10 years supporting them to flourish, understand and harmonise their relationship with themselves and others.I founded the community membership group <a href="https://hspconnect.uk/" title="https://hspconnect.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">HSPconnect.uk</a> for HSPs to find others, connect and build friendships. I also hold therapeutic sharing circles for HSPs within the group.
