If You Are Sensitive - Work with it instead of against it

There is a word to describe you ... and it is not touchy mercurial ... it's highly sensitive. We often get bogged down in a world that is so insensitive ... and rather than resist this innate trait ... highly sensitive people must work with it. This workbook tells you how to do just that. Strengthen your aura, become solid from jello, and manage stimulation to make your sensitivity your strength. These are truly essential skills demanded so that you support yourself in being your best self. All of Elaine Aron's books are a treasure for those who want to make sensitivity their greatest gift.

Useful Information for Highly Sensitive People

I read Elaine Aron's book, "The Highly Sensitive Person" which was
quite helpful, but I still didn't know how to cope with my sensitivity
in this harsh world. I work in a pressure cooker environment with so
much loud noise, deadlines and aggressive people, I'm wiped out at the
end of the day. I found the chapter on `Creating a Peaceful Work
Environment" a godsend. I immediately started employing the suggestions
in the book. I was scared to ask my boss if I could work part time from
home, but I followed Ted Zeff's suggestions on how to explain to others
about my HSP trait and finally got the courage to ask for a change. I'm
now able to work three half days from home and being out of that
intense office has made me feel more relaxed and able to cope better
with my job.

While the chapters on calming the senses, coping with time pressure,
maintaining a healthy body and nurturing the HSP soul were helpful, I particularly found useful the chapter on "Harmonious
Relationships for the HSP." My entire life I have been sensitive and
over-reacted to people who have teased me or treated me in an abrasive
manner. I've been following the book's different techniques to reduce
conflicts with people and have had some encouraging results. I'm
finding that I'm asserting myself more in a positive manner when people
have made hurtful comments. I used to be upset sometimes for days when
someone hurt my feelings. I'm feeling hopeful that I have some new
tools that seem to really work so I won't keep obsessing over people
who have hurt me.

I really enjoyed the supportive, yet humorous tone in which Ted Zeff
wrote the book making for easy reading. In the past I've had trouble
following too technical writing by professionals. If you are a highly
sensitive person, this book can really help you.

GREAT BOOK FULL OF HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS!

If I had this book when I was a child, my life would have been so much
easier. I wouldn't have felt like there was something wrong with me for
being sensitive. I've been employing Dr. Zeff's wonderful suggestions
and already feel so much better about myself. I don't have to go along
with the overstimulating world, but I can set my own agenda. The book
has helped me to empower myself and that feels great.
