Foreword
I am happy to introduce this book to highly sensitive people (HSPs) and their loved ones. For those of you new to the concept, Ted Zeff does a fine job of making you acquainted with who HSPs are and how they operate in the world. In particular, his caring and respect comes through on every page.
Between these covers Ted Zeff shares many thoughtful insights, fine accounts of solutions to problems found by HSPs, and an excellent collection of fresh, practical suggestions for supporting the highly sensitive body and spirit. But most importantly, he models a caring, respectful attitude towards HSPs everywhere. We are fortunate to have his attention.
For those of you familiar with my work, you will find that Ted and I approach many things differently, but that may be very refreshing. It is important that we understand that although our nervous systems are similar in an essential way, we can approach problems and think about things very differently. The more sound perspectives that are available, the better, and Teds perspective is a good one.
