Harnessing Your HSP Traits for Better Living

Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is a term used to describe individuals who experience a heightened sensitivity to physical, emotional, or social stimuli. This trait, known as sensory processing sensitivity, is characterized by deeper cognitive processing of feelings and sensations. HSPs often react more intensely to environmental and social stimuli, which can include sensitivity to light and sound, emotional richness, and an acute awareness of the subtleties in their surroundings. This sensitivity is not a disorder but a genetic trait found in approximately 20% of the population, offering both challenges and profound strengths, such as greater empathy, creativity, and perceptiveness.
