The Highly Sensitive Person (HSPs)
from Divine Nobodies Hosted by Divine Nobodies Podcast
In this episode, our friend Sam drops by the studio to discuss a subject that Jenn and I have always been interested in, HSPs (Highly Sensitive People). HSPs are largely considered empaths in new age theology, however with the advent of new discoveries in clinical psychology, a new term has been utilized to identify certain highly sensitive traits (Highly Sensitive Person). Originally coined by psychologist Elaine Aron HSPs are a subset of the population who are high in a personality trait known as sensory-processing sensitivity, or SPS. Those with high levels of SPS display increased emotional sensitivity, stronger reactivity to both external and internal stimuli—pain, hunger, light, and noise—and a complex inner life. In this episode Sam shares a very intimate story of his youth, being incorrectly diagnosed as autistic, sent to an institution and battling depression which ultimately lead him to almost taking his own life. As a musician and an artist, Sam has had to develop his own practice in working alongside this very unique trait that effects roughly 15-20% of the population. We were extremely grateful to hear his story!
