Its a commonly heard phrase: Stop being so sensitive. These words can be frustrating to hear, and if you are an emotionally sensitive person, they often have the opposite of the desired effect. You cannot simply switch off your emotions like you would a TV show or a radio station playing an annoying song. But there are effective techniques that can help you manage these emotions before they take over your life. In The Emotionally Sensitive Person, a psychologist provides proven-effective cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to help people like you who struggle with intense emotions. In the book, you will learn powerful tools for staying in the present moment, identifying emotional triggers, developing a strong and healthy identity, and experiencing overwhelming or uncomfortable emotions without becoming upset. Youll also learn how to be more relaxed in your relationships, how your personal values can affect your thoughts and actions, and how to recognize negative thought patterns before you start acting on them. If you are tired of feeling hurt and helpless when it comes to your feelings, this book will provide you with evidence-based strategies for taking charge of your emotions--whether its at home, at work, or in your relationships-- Read more...

Acknowledgments

Im grateful to so many who supported and contributed to this project. Emotionally sensitive people all over the world shared generously and bravely about living with emotional sensitivity. Please know that all examples represent a combination of different peoples experiences. All names have been altered, and any resemblance to any single individual is conincidental.

My thinking is heavily influenced by the work of Marsha Linehan, PhD, who created dialectical behavior therapy. Thank you also to Shari Manning, PhD, and Helen Best at Treatment Implementation Collaborative, who always encourage growth with inspiring integrity.

My gratitude to Suzanne Robinson, Kelly Guynes, Pamela Jones, Joseph Pentony, Rebecca Ciatto, Lindsay Raymer, Beverly Bontrager, Meggan Watson, and Angela Tallo, who are all a constant source of wisdom. Kraig Dunn is amazingly skillful and makes even the most outrageous ideas a reality. Im sure he will some day find a way to have horses on the roof of our office building. Carla Sharp, PhD, and Allison Kalpakci, BS, designed a research study in addition to their already full schedules.

This book wouldnt exist without the gifted professionals at New Harbinger Publications. Thank you to Melissa Kirk and Jess Beebe in particular. Jueli Garfinkle and Will DeRooy in some magical way turned my ramblings into meaningful text. This book makes sense because of them.

Im grateful to my friends and family members who accepted the long hours I spent writing and rewriting, especially Michelle Meisenhalder and Ray and Barbara Meisenhalder. I am always and forever grateful to Chris, who unconditionally helps me pursue my dreams.

Introduction

Emotionally sensitive people are those who experience intense emotions more frequently and for longer periods of time than most people do. Given that youve picked up this book, chances are that you see yourself or someone you know as emotionally sensitive.

Perhaps you recognize the challenges faced by Alisha, Harold, or Nicole:

When Alisha found out that Roger had cheated on her repeatedly throughout their marriage, she filed for divorce. Yet she couldnt bring herself to ask him to move out of the housein addition to fearing that he would be upset with her, she was worried about how she would feel without him around. So now, a couple of years later, they still live together, and she supports him. After all, she explains to her friends, he has no place to go and has difficulty managing his money. She hates that her fear of feeling bad keeps her from making the decision she knows makes the most sense (i.e., to ask him to leave). She realizes it shows a lack of self-respect.

Harold worries about unintentionally offending others and struggles with saying no. He stays on the phone for hours with upset friends and acquaintances to the point he isnt getting daily tasks completed. He doesnt watch the news because it makes him sad.

Nicole sees herself as weak, as not good enough. Shes often in tears, angry, or sad when no one else is. Others tell her she wears her heart on her sleeve and lets everything get to her. These comments and many more make her feel different and misunderstood.
