First of all, we need to clarify that we all are sensitive, to a greater or lesser degree, but there is also a percentage of people who are highly sensitive, a factor that needs to be taken into consideration when educating, dealing with others, and living together.

The book is intended to make it easier for you to identify whether you possess the trait of high sensitivity, it is also essential to identify this trait in others since you could be a mother, father or brother of a highly sensitive person, or husband, teacher, or co-worker.

Conclusions

With these pages the authors hope that you will be able to identify the traits of high sensitivity as well as the psychological consequences. In this book you will find valuable experiences, studies, and scientific bases.

The experiences of highly sensitive people are without a doubt very useful examples to increase awareness among those interested in high sensitivity, for the importance of going to professionals specialized in this subject, whether psychologists, counsellors, pediatricians, and psychiatrists trained in High Sensitivity who will be able to offer solutions to the problems that may arise.

The reader should keep in mind that being highly sensitive is not similar to having a disorder, although it may be accompanied by certain difficulties which must be addressed properly.

Becoming aware of the existence of the High Sensitivity Trait among the people around us is as important as knowing who to turn to when we want or need solutions.

While the highly sensitive person is currently considered to possess an underlying innate trait, based on several characteristics that encompass a special cognitive ability to process information, awareness of subtle stimuli, emotional reactivity and easily over-stimulated, this concept has changed over time.

It should be noted that it has not been until the emergence of psychology as a science in which knowledge about the cognitive characteristics of the person begins to be studied and systematized.

Once knowledge evolved it began to be concerned with the particular cases not present throughout the entire population, while knowledge about psychopathology evolved and it was effectively intervened.

One of the best-known advances was the emergence of the concept of IQ, a measure of the ability to resolve a series of tests, designed and prepared by psychologists, which follow strict control standards, established by psychometry so that the results are valid and reliable for the population to which they are applied.
