Prologue

The interest generated by our first book on High Sensitivity encouraged us to continue disseminating insight on this personality trait. This second book focuses more on the difficulties experienced by highly sensitive people as well as on the psychological abilities they possess. Knowing how to manage the trait of High Sensitivity is fundamental to achieving a maximum potential in the personal growth of the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Hence the importance of knowing how to meet the needs of highly sensitive children (HSC) from an early age. HSC children become HSP adults. Solve the issue in childhood and you avoid the need for treatments later on.

Throughout life, the HSP can go through transient psychological problems or disorders derived from mismanagement of their trait. In these pages, we share real examples of people who have come to a psychology consultation looking for a solution to their “bumps in the road”. Many HSPs discover it in the wake of one of these ups and downs in their lives. Knowing how to take the right path, choosing to have people close to them who respect the HSP trait, and learning to set limits, are the objectives most demanded by the HSPs who are treated by a mental health professional.

This book aims to help both the reader, as well as the health or medical professional. Based on our experience as professional experts of High Sensitivity we are offering solutions to the problems that arise from being an HSP, sharing examples of people who have gone through the same stages, as well as showing some of the most common disorders derived from having this particular personality trait. Although being an HSP or HSC is not a disorder, it is necessary to learn to adapt to today’s society until society becomes better acquainted with High Sensitivity.
