Sensitive Brain

Why do highly sensitive people perceive and process information so differently, and react more intensely? Why do they often experience stress and social rejection?

In this book, Esther Bergsma presents the latest scientific insights into the functioning of the ‘highly sensitive brain’, which has proven to function differently in many areas when compared to the non-highly sensitive brain. Based on these scientific insights, she developed a ...

It's 2 AM and your brain won't shut up. You're replaying that conversation from three days ago. Spiraling about what you said, what they thought, what it all means. The thoughts loop and loop, and no matter how tired you are, you can't make them stop. If you have ADHD, this isn't just overthinking.
