The Highly Sensitive Person


I wish I had discovered this book years ago. I guess I've always known I was a "sensitive" person, but sadly, I never saw this personality trait as a positive. It wasn't until my son who I intuitively knew was also sensitive, became an adolescent this year, that my tools for dealing with his sensitivity seemed to be used up.....or maybe, I just was sick of dealing with his sensitivity and wished he would "grow out of it". Reading Caring For Your Highly Sensitive Child as well as The Highly Sensitive Person has helped me enormously. I have a new understanding of who my son is, and who I am. More on these books later....Oriana is needing her Mommy.
