Sense and Sensitivity: How Highly Sensitive People Are Wired for Wonder
Are you a Highly Sensitive Person? If so, you probably find the world to be an overwhelming place. You might struggle with loud, bright or busy situations - you need calm, quiet environments. Your senses are frequently overstimulated and you are a true empath, feeling the pain of others very deeply, and putting the needs of those around you above your own.

Deborah Ward is a Highly Sensitive Person, and her blog, 'Sense and Sensitivity' (Psychology Today), has helped thousands of readers to better understand and manage their HSP personality traits. In this absorbing blend of memoir and practical guide, she shares her journey as an HSP from childhood to adulthood and across a number of different contexts, from managing friendships to creating the right professional environment. Deborah's experiences with overstimulation, tackling low self-esteem, socialising, forming relationships and finding comfort in creativity and the natural world will help you to embrace the challenges you face yourself as an HSP. Each chapter has a list of practical suggestions that will inform, console, reassure and inspire you to understand who you are, what you need, and to feel good about yourself.

As you read Sense and Sensitivity you will come to understand it's not your destiny to live quietly hiding in fear. Nor is it your duty to try to act like everyone else. None of us is meant to try to suppress our true nature. Being highly sensitive can be challenging, but it can also be a gift.
