Are
you “too shy” or “too sensitive” according to others? Do you have a
keen imagination and vivid dreams? Is time alone each day as essential
to you as food and water? Do noise and confusion quickly overwhelm you?
Did you have meltdowns and tantrums as a child? If your answers are yes,
you may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Most of us feel
overstimulated every once in a while, but for the Highly Sensitive
Person, it’s a way of life. About 1 in 5 people are highly sensitive —
and most don’t know it. Nor do the people who love them. They just know
that their loved one can cry easily, react to situations that others
just shrug their shoulders at, and otherwise take things just too
personally.
In 1991, Dr. Aron made a breakthrough discovery: an innate trait of high sensitivity. Since then, her international bestseller The Highly Sensitive Person has been translated into 18 languages and her research is published in top-tier peer reviewed journals such as The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and Brain and Behavior,
as well as replicated and extended by other scientists, who are
interviewed in the film. There are now fMRI and genetic studies on the
subject. Dr. Aron found that not only 1 in 5 people are highly
sensitive, but the trait occurs in the same percentage in over 100 other
species.
“[Sensitive-The Untold Story] covers such a dense amount of
information, and such a wide range of how and where this trait shows
up…all done in a way that is very clear, and intelligent and touching.
Bless you for making this film. It is an honor to have been a part of
it, and to be part of this generous outreach to so many HSP’s and their
loved ones. Such a major contribution to the world. Congratulations on a
truly stunning documentary…. to you and your whole team. Alanis.” -Alanis Morissette
