Is anyone on Fluther familiar with Elaine Arons work on highly sensitive people?
Have you read “The Highly Sensitive Person” or “The Highly Sensitive Person in Love”? If so, are you an HSP? Or do you know and/or love someone who is? I am not, but my husband is. He hasn’t read the books, but I have. As I read, I was stunned at how much of her findings applied to him. As a result, I have tried to modify some (not all! I’m not a saint.) of my behaviors to help him. Not just out of love and concern, but because it helped me to understand how my actions or reactions could adversely affect him. Affect? Effect? I never get that right. I am trying to figure out how to have better communication between my husband and myself when it comes to emotional issues. When I bring up a problem of an emotional nature, he shuts down. I can see a physical change in his face. —If you have ever been so distraught from grief or shock, you may know this look.— His face is blank, and he shuts down. Verbal expression is not his forte’ and I know that. I’ve tried email, but he reads the email
