#011 - In this episode I talk with author, researcher, and educator Dr. Tracy Cooper who helps us understand what it means to have the personality trait of being a highly sensitive person.
In this episode we discuss:
- How he stumbled upon the work of Dr. Elaine Aron in attempts to find a topic for his dissertation when introversion seemed to have been well studied already.
- What it means to be a highly sensitive person, or HSP, and how that differs from a sensory processing disorder.
- Some of the research and science behind HSPs and how they differ in behavior, depth of processing, empathy, emotional responsiveness, overstimulation, and brain function.
- The importance for HSPs to adapt their lives when needed and not to adapt themselves to life which includes choosing experiences, having a self-care practice and developing boundaries.
- The benefits and challenges of living as an HSP including advantages for the species.
- How creating "Flow" experiences is a key aspect for restoration.
- Considerations for choosing and thriving in work and careers for HSPs.
