El cuaderno de trabajo de la persona altamente sensible

What is a Highly Sensitive Person?

A Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) possesses a nervous system that is more receptive to stimuli, allowing them to perceive subtleties that others overlook. This trait, identified by psychologist Elaine Aron, affects approximately 20% of the population. Far from being a flaw, high sensitivity is an innate characteristic that brings both challenges and gifts. In this workbook, Aron offers a practical approach for those who wish to understand and manage their sensitivity.

This book is not a mere read; it is an interactive guide designed for you to explore your own experience as a highly sensitive person.
