There's a lot of information out there about High Sensitivity, the temperament upon which my consulting service is based. As with most topics, though - especially those recently 'discovered' by the rest of the world - it includes misinformation; some innocent, and some that's wildly incorrect.

The last would be nice, but... it's not true, and neither are the others, along with the rest of the false advertising. I think some people have grasped the idea, and run away with it, adding on bits and pieces that sound nice and exciting, or that they've observed in themselves or others.

There are also a variety of good articles available, including those which focus on the world of work. Here are some I like: Comments are closed.

AuthorTamara - Sensitive Thrive is my consulting business. I believe that the world needs Highly Sensitive people who are flourishing. We need their hope, insight, wisdom, and awareness of beauty and possibility. My vision is to help create a culture where this temperament is known, understood and valued; where organisations seek Highly Sensitive people to work for them, because they know what they can do. Where HS people feel like they fit in their workplaces, because those workplaces also fit them. A world where HS people belong, thrive, and flourish, and the world is better for it. Categories
