Great ideas

Women who are Highly Sensitive People

Are you a woman over 40 who believes they are a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then this book is for you. The author explains that the most highly sensitive people are women. As she explains, HSP is not a disease or a disorder; in fact, in the right circumstances, it can be a strength. Unfortunately, many don’t see it that way, so let’s change that perception. The author explains emotional intelligence (EI), although due to our male-dominated society and historical prejudices, many look down on EI, yet it really can be thought of as a strength. And highly sensitive people usually have a high emotional intelligence. These people are capable of reading a room and knowing the emotional state of others. The author discusses in the audiobook how HSP should find jobs that support them and discusses what kind of jobs these are and how to go about finding one. She also discusses how to use mindfulness and meditation as ways to reduce stress and bring calmness into your life. Along with healthy eating, exercise, and a good sleep routine versus methods of self-medication which eventually are self-destructive. I thought this was a great audiobook and would definitely recommend it to people who are HDP to aid them in bringing calmness and peace to their lives.

I especially like the chapter "write it out and let it out" "fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.." Journaling and every age and every level is such a helpful habit that this book highlighted. It was gentle with things like "don't beat yourself up if you don't do it every day" "keep it simple" "start small" which is especially helpful for an HSP trying to achieve perfection.

This audiobook was gentle and powerful with great concepts to help HSPs as well as their close family cope and improve living.

Great Natural Coping Strategies For Women Over 40

Until I listened to this audiobook, I had not heard the term HSP, although I am aware of people with sensitivity to loud noises and other things that don't bother the average person. The author discusses many issues that disrupt the balance in the lives of women over 40 who fall into the HSP category. There is a discussion about emotional intelligence and how it applies to HSPs and women in general. Ms Hassan explains the three types of empathy and warns of the dangers of unrealistic expectations for women, both internal and external. Also emphasized is the importance of a positive attitude and making sure there is enough time to rest away from agendas and the demands of others. My favorite bit of advice was about the importance of Nature in finding your peaceful center in the sights, smells, and sounds of the outdoors, and how Nature refreshes and restores the Body-Mind-Spirit connection. I know this to be true. Very educational learning about HSPs, not so much a label as an empathy indicator.

Setting Boundaries is Key for HSP

One of the things I love most about this book is that it emphasizes the importance of nurturing the body and spirit. The author highlights the restorative power of nature and encourages readers to connect with the natural world to find inner peace.

This book is a combination of scientific knowledge, practical advice, and empathetic understanding and it is an essential resource for anyone seeking to navigate life as a highly sensitive person or to better understand and appreciate the empathic souls among us.
