Highly Sensitive Child
Highly sensitive child is genetically predisposed to have more empathy and to be more in tune to their surroundings. Their highly sensitive nervous system causes them to have a strong response to subtle changes in their environment, this gives them higher awareness of self, others and the world around them. MRI scans have shown heightened activity in the anterior insula of highly sensitive people compared to those of lower sensitivity. The anterior insula is an area of the brain related to awareness and empathy and emotional experience.
HSC/HSP is not a syndrome or an illness. It is beautiful gift, when managed well!
HSC/HSP effects around 20 percent of population. This gift of being able to read social clues so easily, having great empathy and being in tune to one’s own emotions and the emotions of others, our general surrounding and the greater world around us, can be truly beautiful. Although beautiful, when its not managed well things can become overwhelming. These individuals thrive the best when self-care is learned.
The overwhelming emotions experienced from both positive and negative situations and being surrounded by others who are seemingly blind to the world they experience, can feel confusing, lonely, intense and painful at times. This and the additional stress of school and city life, demands others put upon them and the demands they put upon themselves through their perfectionistic ways, can cause life to become overwhelming. Social clues can become blurred, stress levels elevated, often bringing symptoms of anxiety, head or stomach pains, digestion and sleep problems, withdrawal or emotional outbursts.
