Summary

“We miss nothing and have an innate ability to let others shine.” -John Hughes

This has been a big month for HSPs. Dr. Elaine Aron’s documentary, called Sensitive: The Untold Story, came out on September 10.

I thought the documentary was groundbreaking and an amazing tool for people to learn about high sensitivity. Dr. Aron’s script expertly covered all the most frequently asked questions about HSPs—the science and evidence behind it, what it means, misconceptions, and more.

There were a few points made in the documentary that really impacted me, and I cover those in this Episode 52 of the podcast. They include creativity, sports, being told you are "shy" as a child, differential susceptibility, and more.

I'd love to hear what you thought of the documentary, if you got a chance to see it.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Highly Sensitive Person Podcast, a twice monthly podcast for people who experience the world intensely.
0:11.4	Join me on a journey of acceptance of our highly sensitive person traits.
0:18.1	Welcome to episode 52 of the Highly Sensitive Person podcast. I'm your host, Kelly. This is a show for people who are highly sensitive or who think they might be highly sensitive or people who aren't highly sensitive but just want to learn more about it. Highly sensitive people have sensory processing sensitivity. We aren't
0:39.9	wrong or weird. We're just very perceptive and conscientious. Before I get started today, I want to thank
0:47.9	those of you on my mailing list who replied to my survey. I sent out a really short survey several
0:53.1	days ago to find out what you like
0:54.8	and what you'd like to see more of on this podcast and at the blog. Your responses were super
1:00.5	helpful and I'll be addressing them in later shows and newsletters. If you aren't on my newsletter,
1:06.8	you can sign up at highly sensitive person.net.
1:15.9	This has been a big month for HSPs because Dr. Relain's Aaron's documentary came out on September 10th and is called Sensitive.
1:21.4	In case you aren't familiar with who Dr. Relain Aaron is, she's pretty much the expert
1:26.7	worldwide on HSPs. She coined the phrase,
1:30.8	and she's written lots of books on it and done lots of research. She is the authority.
1:36.5	You could watch the documentary on live stream for a few days, but it's no longer available.
1:42.1	I know there are plans to have it on DVD, but it looks like there's
1:46.2	no way to watch it right now, which is unfortunate. I'm not sure why they don't just make it
1:51.7	available online, even for a fee. I'll have a link in the show notes to the movie's website,
1:57.1	so you can follow them on Facebook and Twitter and keep up to date on when it is available
2:01.7	again if you want to see it. Those show notes are at highly sensitive person.net slash
2:06.7	episode 52.52. Anyway, I thought the documentary was groundbreaking. It was so amazing to see so
2:15.8	many of things that I and we talk about and think about in a documentary.
2:21.6	It's kind of like it makes it more real or valid.
