Ep. 52: The Sensitive Documentary - My Reflections

September 22, 2015 by 1 Comment

“We miss nothing and have an innate ability to let others shine.” -John Hughes

This has been a big month for HSPs. Dr. Elaine Aron’s documentary, called Sensitive: The Untold Story, came out on September 10.

I thought the documentary was groundbreaking and an amazing tool for people to learn about high sensitivity. Dr. Aron’s script expertly covered all the most frequently asked questions about HSPs—the science and evidence behind it, what it means, misconceptions, and more.

There were a few points made in the documentary that really impacted me, and I cover those in this Episode 52 of the podcast. They include creativity, sports, being told you are “shy” as a child, differential susceptibility, and more.

The film was produced by Diana Sinelnikova Harper and directed by Will Harper.

I’d love to hear what you thought of the documentary, if you got a chance to see it. Leave your comments below!

HSP Podcast #27: Science!

January 20, 2015 by 4 Comments

In today’s episode, I talk about the most interesting parts of this great interview of Dr. Elaine Aron on Reset.me. It’s about genetic studies and stuff.

Ok, ok, that doesn’t sound very exciting, does it?

Take #2. In today’s episode, I talk about why high sensitivity hasn’t been bred out of humans (in an evolutionary sense) and that HSPs might be more likely to be thrive (or, conversely, suffer) than non-HSPs, depending on their upbringing. SCIENCE!

HSPs Need Creative Outlets!

January 15, 2015 by 19 Comments

A few years ago, never would I have used the word “creative” to describe myself.

Creative people were painters, sculptors, poets, architects, designers. That’s not me.

I grew up thinking that being creative or artistic was sort of a waste of time-creativity wasn’t practical or of real value. Creative people were dreamers. I wanted to be a person who got things done!

Of course, I eventually realized this was a dumb way to think.
