A tweet by @Finnattentive: "The clinical research psychologist who created the concept of HSP and first wrote about it, Elaine Aron, based the HSP criteria on family members who have since been diagnosed with autism" How is HSP even a thing after that? Why I’ve rejected the HSP label big time for years now. Sometimes people have tried to apply it to me on my posts about high empathy, sense of justice, or sensory overload and I’ve had to gently correct with, “I mean, I’m autistic. I think it’s okay to just say that.”

From The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron

YES. If you go to therapy, this is what they should tell you. The language a medical professional should use is HSP or Highly Sensative Person. It is commonly associated with disorders resulting from prolonged trauma, ADHD, and Autism.
Your counselor should NEVER use the word empath.
Personally, my mother has called herself an empathy for ages, because she didn't have this term before. But she has acknowledged that this is the correct term to use. We still use empath though bc it's easier to say, but your medical professional should never use it.
Empaths are technically not real, but this term has been used before as a way of connecting with a real problem they didn't have the right name for. For context, the woman who coined it is only 78 years old.

36 Questions for Increasing Closeness
Instructions – Take turns asking one another the questions; each person should answer each question, but in an alternating order, so that a different person goes first each time.
Set I
Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?
Would you like to be famous? In what way?
Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?
What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?
When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?
If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?
Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?
Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common.
For what in your life do you feel most grateful?
If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?
Take four minutes and tell your partner your life story in as much detail as possible.
If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability, what would it be?
Set II
If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know?
Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?
What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?
What do you value most in a friendship?
What is your most treasured memory?
What is your most terrible memory?
If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?
What does friendship mean to you?
What roles do love and affection play in your life?
Alternate sharing something you consider a positive characteristic of your partner. Share a total of five items.
How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s?
How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?
Set III
Make three true “we” statements each. For instance, “We are both in this room feeling…”
Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share…”
If you were going to become a close friend with your partner, please share what would be important for them to know.
Tell your partner what you like about them; be very honest this time, saying things that you might not say to someone you’ve just met.
Share with your partner an embarrassing moment in your life.
When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?
Tell your partner something that you like about them [already].
What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?
If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?
Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?
Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most disturbing? Why?
Share a personal problem and ask your partner’s advice on how they might handle it. Also, ask your partner to reflect back to you how you seem to be feeling about the problem you have chosen.
Final task / suggestion – Stare into each other’s eyes for four minutes.

“Quando você parte para o mundo buscando inconscientemente essa segurança tão desejada sem uma grande experiência com o que busca, com frequência você repete os mesmos velhos erros, voltando a escolher muitas e muitas vezes o mesmo tipo familiar de pessoa que faz você se sentir inseguro.”

Okay so I got the last kisser. And it’s a girl kisser!
The Diana Kisser is @dove-chan32931’s OC Dove.
Plus all the kissers on a sleepover. Apparently Dove is the little sister of the boys so I came up with this scene.
Meave and Elaine are being menaces to Dove meanwhile, Aron, Holly and Mika are watching a horror movie in the back though Mika is kinda weak to horror.

some of my dgs faves reading the self-help workbook i'm currently working with ("The Highly Sensitive Person" by Dr Elaine N. Aron)
kazuma: pitches the book into the Thames when asked to do the reframing exercise at the end of chapter 1
barok: cries effusively and cathartically. places many markers for important passages. makes cramped annotations in the margins. he's considering writing a thank-you letter to the author that he may or may not send
herlock: reads the preface, says he could write a better book, forgets about it, and loses it in his sitting room for years
ryunosuke: reads it slowly. makes kazuma mad by asking questions about its subject material. makes barok weep by even mentioning the title. is approached by herlock demanding to know why ryuu has not asked his opinion (he gets mad when ryuu points out he never read past the preface and therefore doesn't have a valid opinion)
gina: reads it on work breaks and talks with barok about the subject matter obliquely. gives olive green a copy on the downlow
hosonaga: sleeps with it under his pillow
enoch: bursts into flames walking near it
harebrayne: tries to read it but gets too overwhelmed by Being Seen. gets a summary from barok
stronghart: "Yes, I Am A Highly Sensitive Person. I Am The Most Sensitive."
klint: probably bought the copy that barok is reading but never read it himself

Sensory Processing Disorder
One of the best books that I was recommended and read was 'The Highly Sensitive Person' by Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D. It truly helped me accept myself and get over my anger towards myself. I spent a lot of time wishing I wasn't the way I was until I started being more gentle with myself. I also recommended this book to my mom which helped us grow closer and have a better understanding of each other. 'The Body Keeps the Score' by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D. and 'What Happened to You?' by Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Bruce Perry were also very beneficial to me.

Oggi lo dico con orgoglio, sono una Persona Altamente Sensibile.
Una delle cose più importanti avvenute durante il mio percorso di crescita e' stata la scoperta degli studi della Dottoressa Elaine Aron e del tratto della personalità da lei descritto, l'Alta Sensibilità. Venni a conoscenza degli studi della Dottoressa Aron durante una delle mie innumerevoli ricerche personali, svolte online tra semplice Instagram e Google talvolta o PubMed e Nature altre volte. Un periodo molto intenso quello tra Marzo e Maggio 2023, quando ho avuto esperienza di un profondo Insight o presa di coscienza, se detto in termini psicologici, o Awaken e risveglio se invece vogliamo parlare in termini spirituali; magari di questo argomento specifico ne parlerò in un futuro post.
Sulla prima pagina del libro ho annotato il giorno in cui cominciai a leggerlo, 9 Aprile 2023. Proprio con questo libro ho preso l'abitudine di scrivere sulla prima pagina un messaggio che la me del post libro possa leggere. Ora lo faccio con ogni libro di crescita personale che leggo.
Ecco cosa mi scrissi.
In questo giorno di Pasqua entro con un cuore consapevole di aver perso tante cose per poter andare avanti. In questo giorno scelgo di iniziare questa lettura perché so di essere diversa e scelgo di iniziare ad amare questa mia diversità. Scelgo di accudirla, di comprenderla e darle una nuova forma. Cerco di accettare che sia un "superpotere" nelle mani di chi la sa usare. Scelgo di smettere di scappare e rinnegare una parte di me. Scelgo di prendermi la responsabilità di chi sono e imparerò a mostrarmi agli altri. Buon viaggio piccola Gaia. Ci vediamo dall'altra parte. In questo blog ripercorrerò pezzi del mio viaggio con un duplice obiettivo. Il primo è quello di continuare la mia collezione di frammenti, infatti solo vedendomi per intero posso progredire. Secondo e non meno importante, spero che la mia testimonianza possa essere da aiuto per chiunque lì fuori stia cercando delle risposte e si stia chiedendo se sia possibile, se c'è posto per persone come noi, se si può sopravvivere ad un mondo che ci fa sentire costantemente overstimolati e disallineati. Come resto accesa/o? Come resto in vita?
La risposta è sì, c'è posto anche per noi. Anzi per fortuna ci siamo noi. Noi Persone Altamente Sensibili.
