Wow. This material is truly liberating. Thank you. I recently discovered I’m an HSP after years of thinking I was just an emotional vortex (and that everything was my fault). I’m looking forward to embracing my past in a way that can empower me and help me grow!
Thank you for this article! It’s so true and it’s nice to read a critical article about this subject cos with the New Age movement and theories, we hear so many things which aren’t down to Earth and can affect us then. I believe that when we’ve suffered lot of pain or trauma, our ego and imagination are easily at work to make us believe in something instead of really facing the core of the trauma, feeling the pain and admit that we are part of something bigger we cannot truly understand from our human nature.
You’re welcome Alexandra! We HSPs have a tendency to literally resort to “flights of fancy” when we’re stressed / traumatised, as a way to cope, especially if there was no way to change the situation and we had to stick it out somehow.

You’re not alone Charissa :)
