Summary
In today's episode, I talk about the most interesting parts of this great interview of Dr. Elaine Aron on Reset.me. It's about genetic studies and stuff. Ok, ok, that doesn't sound very exciting, does it? Take #2. In today's episode, I talk about why high sensitivity hasn't been bred out of humans (in an evolutionary sense) and that HSPs might be more likely to be thrive (or, conversely, suffer) than non-HSPs, depending on their upbringing. SCIENCE! If you like the podcast, please leave a positive review on iTunes! Sign up for the weekly newsletter to be notified of the latest blog posts, podcast episodes, and HSP news.

| 0:00.0 | This is the highly sensitive person podcast, a weekly podcast for people who experience the world brighter, louder, and more intensely. |
| 0:11.3 | Join me on a journey of acceptance of our highly sensitive person traits. |
| 0:17.8 | Welcome to the highly sensitive person podcast. I'm your host, Kelly. In this show, I talk about what it's like to have high sensory processing sensitivity when you experience sounds, smells, empathy, and emotions 10 times more intensely. |
| 0:33.4 | I'd like to start by reading a comment from the blog from a reader named Dan. |
| 0:38.7 | He writes, |
| 0:41.5 | I found your website after listening to the podcast, |
| 0:43.9 | and I have to say that you've described me to a T. |
| 0:46.7 | I've always known that I'm a highly sensitive person, |
| 0:50.1 | but never knew quite how to identify it until I heard it put into perspective. |
| 0:55.1 | I've always wondered why things that normally don't bother others seem to get me upset, |
| 1:00.9 | why I obsess over past events I can't change, why I'm easily knocked off center by external stimuli and distractions, and why I'm fatigued after my brain has been running all day. |
| 1:06.5 | I'm still working on it, but now I have a much better idea of exactly what it is. Dan, thank you so |
| 1:13.5 | much for sharing that. When I first started learning more about high sensitivity, I thought it was |
| 1:19.1 | very important for me to understand the science behind it, because I know that people question |
| 1:24.1 | whether or not high sensitivity is real, that it's a real thing. But I never |
| 1:29.2 | looked into it further because I just put it off. I put off diving into the sort of wordy and |
| 1:34.4 | scientific subject matter. But I read a great interview with Dr. Elaine Aaron recently on a site |
| 1:41.0 | called reset.me, where she goes into detail about scientific and genetic studies |
| 1:46.0 | of sensitivity. I'll have a link to this great article in the show notes at highly sensitive |
| 1:50.6 | person.net slash episode 27. And today's episode is going to be me sharing what I've found to be |
| 1:57.8 | the most interesting parts of this piece. First, I want to say that I |
