Two extra bonus book tips about HSP for adults

Elaine Aron’s # 1 book: Highly Sensitive Person

This is a ‘complete’ book including pieces about self-knowledge, healing old wounds, dealing with high sensitivity, facts, challenges, tests, tips and a philosophical perspective.

The highly sensitive person in love

Afraid of intimacy due to all stimuli? Elaine Aron teaches you how to deal with this.

Sensitive The Movie

This is a very informative film that is also useful for non-HSPs to better understand how sensitive it is through a scientific approach. So little attention is paid to the spiritual perspective. Elaine Aron knows how to tie the film together with her message.

It is remarkable that, just like other documentaries, the film simply contains bright images and sounds while many HSPers watch it. You can rent or purchase this film through the film ‘s website .

Films that were probably made by HSP people

It seems as if a special kind of ‘film genre’ has emerged in recent decades. It is difficult to give a name or to pinpoint exactly what these films have in common.
