Our high sensitivity personality: normalcy, wholeness, acceptance

Our high sensitivity personality: normalcy, wholeness, acceptance | Highly Sensitive | Scoop.it
Elaine Aron says "For many HSPs the real challenge is to achieve the middle ground…ordinary, normal."

 

But is "normal" what we want to be?

 

In an issue of her newsletter several years ago, creativity coach Jenna Avery wrote: “I hear from many of you that you don’t want to “accept” being highly sensitive. It’s like if you give yourself permission to be who you really are, you’re giving in or even giving up somehow.

Probably most artists and creators are highly sensitive people. While sensitivity comes with many gifts and positive qualities, there are also challenges to understand and deal with to enhance your creative life.

And we have some conscious control over this.

It can often be incredibly hard making decisions as a Highly Sensitive Person.

Our High Sensitivity: Both A Gift and Vulnerability to Anxiety

Our High Sensitivity: Both A Gift and Vulnerability to Anxiety | Highly Sensitive | Scoop.it

From the HSP Health Blog :

Along with the many benefits of our high sensitivity trait, we may also be especially susceptible to anxiety.

One aspect of a highly sensitive nervous system can be a strong startle response, as noted in an item on the Self-Test on the site of Psychologist Elaine Aron, PhD: “I startle easily.”

 

[Image: Little Miss Muffet.]

 

Of  course, just being easily startled, at any age, is not by itself an indicator of high sensitivity or a ‘symptom’ of anxiety – but there is some research that people who carry a gene that regulates the neurotransmitter dopamine in a certain way have an exaggerated “startle” reflex. Researchers concluded this sensitivity “may, in combination with other hereditary and environmental factors, make them more prone to anxiety disorders.”
