Are You a Highly Sensitive Person? | Kati Morton

There are many online tests you can take to find out if you are an HSP or not, and I am sure many of these are helpful and accurate, however, there isn’t a tried and true test or assessment that mental health professionals use. Just wanted to throw that out there. Also, after reading about the HSP, I realized how negatively we view the word “sensitive” when it can actually be a very positive and helpful quality. So just pay attention to how you view that word and how you use it in your life. And if using the term “highly sensitive person” is bothersome to you, feel free to make it your own.. You could call it “highly intuitive person” maybe. Whatever works for you. Oh, and also know that HSP is not the same as Sensory Processing Disorder, some scientists call HSP “Sensory Processing Sensitivity” but know that sensory overload is merely one part of HSP.
