What Are <strong>the</strong> Traits <strong>of</strong> an HSP?<br />

Elaine Aron<br />

<strong>of</strong> HSPerson.com, introduced <strong>the</strong> idea <strong>of</strong> “<strong>the</strong> highly<br />

sensitive person.”<br />

She is a <strong>the</strong>rapist who is highly sensitive herself, <strong>and</strong> in her<br />

practice she kept noticing that sensitive people seemed more<br />

susceptible to developing emotional challenges than people<br />

who were less acutely aware <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir surroundings.<br />

If you find you are a highly sensitive person, or your child<br />

is, <strong>the</strong>n you need to be aware <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> following points:<br />

<strong>The</strong> trait <strong>of</strong> being sensitive is normal--it is inherited by<br />

15 to 20% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> population, <strong>and</strong> indeed <strong>the</strong> same percentage<br />

seems to be present in all higher animals.<br />

Being an HSP means your nervous system is more<br />

sensitive to subtleties. Your sight, hearing, <strong>and</strong> sense <strong>of</strong> smell<br />

are not necessarily keener (although <strong>the</strong>y may be). But your<br />

brain processes information <strong>and</strong> reflects on it more deeply.<br />
