Ted Zeff, a psychotherapist and a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) himself, brings us an excellent collection of observations on what life is like for the HSP and on how to make life more understandable, pleasant and healing. Zeff points out that these sensitivities leave HSPs prone to feeling overwhelmed in bustling and boisterous environments. They may also find it hard to organize their outer-world activities when they are focused on inner awarenesses. He suggests varieties of helpful ways for dealing with such overwhelms. Preparing ahead of time and resourcing oneself with approaches for stress and anger reduction are among the most successful approaches. A morning centering routine will set the tone for your day, and an evening routine will help you sleep better.
Being gentle with yourself is one of Zeff’s most important messages. He wisely advises developing positive attitudes towards yourself to prevent spiraling into frustrations and self-blame for not being as adept as the non-HSPs in dealing with the outer world. For instance, HSPs like to contemplate their options and plans before moving ahead with actions. Zeff offers varieties of suggestions for dealing with these sorts of issues.
I love Zeff’s advice to be gentle with non-HSPs, whose preferences for loud environments and activities may unintentionally grate on HSPs’ nerves.
Zeff clearly advocates for a wholistic perspective - connecting with issues of body, emotions, mind, relationships and spirit. In broader perspectives, Zeff suggests that HSPs serve to balance the collective human presence on our planet by providing greater sensitivity and healing in a world where the majority, who are non-HSPs, are sorely lacking in these qualities and threatening to destroy our planet through their self-interests and greed.
