In this episode of Between The Ears, Arnold Beekes looks at the highly sensitive person, or HSP, a temperament trait called sensory processing sensitivity, identified in the mid 1990s by the psychologist Elaine Aron. He explains that it is not a disorder or an illness, and that he cites roughly 15 to 20 percent of people as sharing it. He walks through four core characteristics so you can check for yourself: deep processing, overstimulation, emotional reactivity and empathy, and sensing the subtle. He shares how he came to realise some of the pain he felt belonged to other people. Arnold covers common traits in daily life, how high sensitivity differs from introversion, and the strengths it brings in creativity, intuition, relationships, care work, the arts, teaching and innovation. He talks about how we are taught to suppress our emotions, why unconditioning makes you more aware and more vulnerable, and why it is okay to cry, with a quote from Camus. He stresses managing your environment and looking after sleep, food, movement and rest, and closes with a simple exercise he calls the three beats check-in, a few seconds at each transition in your day to sense your body, name what you feel and signal yourself with a breath or a stretch. The everyday beauty this time is a global study he cites linking regular visits to museums, cinemas or theatre to slower biological ageing in older adults.
