Are You A Highly Sensitive Person?Do you have a keen imagination and vivid dreams? Is time alone each day as essential to you as food and water? Are you too shy or too sensitive according to others? Do noise and confusion quickly overwhelm you? If your answers are yes, you may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).Most of us feel overstimulated every once in a while, but for the HSP, its a way of life. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Elaine Aron, a clinical psychologist, workshop leader, and an HSP herself, shows you how to identify this trait in yourself and make the most of it in everyday situations. Drawing on her many years of research and hundreds of interviews, she shows how you can better understand yourself and your trait to create a fuller, richer life. Updated with a new Authors Note, including the latest scientific research, and a fresh discussion of anti-depressants for HSPs, this edition of The Highly Sensitive Person also includes:Self-assessment tests to help you identify your particular sensitivitiesWays to reframe your past experiences in a positive light and gain greater self-esteem in the processInsight into how high sensitivity affects both work and personal relationshipsTips on how to deal with overarousalInformation on medications and when to seek helpTechniques to enrich the soul and spiritElaine Arons perceptive analysis of this fundamental dimension of human nature is must reading.

Acknowledgments
I especially want to acknowledge all the highly sensitive people I interviewed. You were the first to come forward and talk about what you had known very privately about yourself for a long time, changing yourselves from isolated individuals to a group to be respected. My thanks also to those who have come to my courses or seen me for a consultation or in psychotherapy. Every word of this book reflects what you all have taught me.
My many student research assistantstoo many to namealso earn a big thanks, as do Barbara Kouts, my agent, and Bruce Shostak, my editor at Carol, for their effort to see that this book reached all of you. Barbara found a publisher with vision; Bruce brought the manuscript into good shape, reining me in at all the right places but otherwise letting me run with it as I saw it.
Its harder to find words for my husband, Art. But here are some: Friend, colleague, supporter, belovedthanks, with all my love.
I believe in aristocracy, thoughif that is the right word, and if a democrat may use it. Not an aristocracy of power ... but ... of the sensitive, the considerate.... Its members are to be found in all nations and classes, and all through the ages, and there is a secret understanding between them when they meet. They represent the true human tradition, the one permanent victory of our queer race over cruelty and chaos. Thousands of them perish in obscurity, a few are great names. They are sensitive for others as well as themselves, they are considerate without being fussy, their pluck is not swankiness but the power to endure ...

Authors Note, 2012
In 1998, three years after this book was first published, I wrote a new preface for it titled A Celebration. It was an invitation for all of us to feel good about how many people had discovered they were highly sensitive and found the book useful, and that the idea was catching on in the scientific world. Now we can celebrate about fifty times more of the same. The Highly Sensitive Person has been translated into fourteen languages, from Swedish, Spanish, and Korean to Hebrew, French, and Hungarian. There have been articles about high sensitivity in many prominent media throughout the world. In the U.S., that has included a feature in Psychology Today, a shorter discussion in Time, and many womens and health magazines such as O Magazine as well as numerous health websites. There are HSP Gatherings and courses on the subject in the United States and Europe, plus YouTube videos, books, magazines, newsletters, and websites and all sorts of services exclusively highly sensitive personsmost good and some, well, not as good. Tens of thousands subscribe to my own newsletter, Comfort Zone, at hsperson.com, where there are now hundreds of newsletter articles archived covering every aspect of being highly sensitive. We have come a long way
Three Revisions, Right Here
Given that this book was written at the very beginning of a minor revolution, I have thought I should revise it. But when I look it over, theres not much I would change. It does the job well, with three exceptions. First, and most important, I wanted to add the expanded scientific research. Thats vital because it helps us all to trust that this trait is real, that what is in this book is real. This preface will update you on the research.
