Some comforting advice, but mostly very clinical. Personally, I'm sure I buy into the concept.

Informative, but dry.

What’s with the narrator and sounding like a strict Mary Poppins? The books hold some interesting information

There were times when it felt like the authour was droning on but if you take the time and listen there are points when you find some very useful nuggets of information. To be honest it felt at times being an HSP sounded pretentious and very high maintenance but that may be the case for people who are very highly sensitive. There were times when I agreed with the story and point that was made. I'd like to re-read this book in digital format to go over anything I might of missed. This sort of audio book you must pay full attention to because it's easy to miss out on a lot points being made.

Good intro to understanding HSP

Decent book overall but her use of the word Aroused was not only way way too much but very unnecessary. So many other words to use and she literally said this word I think over 200 times

The word Aroused used way too much!

I really liked the material. It was a game changer and helps reframe my past.

I dislike the snooty sounding narrator and this book has way too many comments that encourage “spiritual paths” and theology. That’s a quick way to lose creditability with me.

Good material for sensitive people!

It’s like she was writing about me. Every second of every minute of my life now makes sense. Now I know the reasons why I do things or can’t do things and can say no to things for my own sanity. It’s not that i don’t want to; I’m not able.

Omg

Knowledge is power. We don’t know what we don’t know, so we must remain open to knowledge in all forms if we are to succeed in this harsh world. 27/27 Highly sensitive person here, dubbing this my new bible. I feel seen and validated. I feel like I have a right to exist on this planet. I feel more secure in what it means to be me. I feel less alien. I wish I could have been interviewed for this book. I wish this was mandatory reading for all children, for all involved in education and employment, for health care practitioners and family and friends, and everyone on this planet. I will suggest this book to literally anyone who will listen and I’ll never stop speaking highly about it. My life is forever changed because of the work in this book. I will be dedicating my life to helping other sensitive people feel seen and heard, validated, and encouraging everyone else to rethink the way they see and treat sensitive people. This information is vital and must be shared extensively and universally. Thank you Dr. Aron.

Thank you for permission to exist exactly as I am.

The narrator was the first voice I could bare compared to all the other boring monotone ones.

Fantastic!

I recently found out that I am an HSP, I also experienced trauma as a child and this book has helped me understand myself.

Loved it!
