    Being a highly sensitive person and having a good long term memory in a family with emotionally negligent parents who drank too much and too often made my life a challenge. The Drama of the gifted child helped me a lot to understand myself and my children. A retreat with Gabor in early 2022 helped the many pieces of my life and therapy over the years fall into place.

      @@ayamood4447 it was an online retreat given by an organization called SAND who produced the film The Wisdom of Trauma. I believe they only ran the one retreat so I just got lucky…and was willing to invest the money because I had followed him as he wrote his books and as he a guest columnist for Canada’s national newspaper. I highly recommend watching the film. Do a google search with title and SAND and you should find it.

      Gabor Mate’ on his website - has a course made for self - study - and it is not terribly expensive - on March 2nd there is going to be an information session with his colleague about the programs he offers .
      I do dare say , it would be supportive of our journeys to work with a trained therapist or paractitioner of this method - if possible .
      Best wishes !

    I know a child who is extremely sensitive to pain, he is hypersensitive he has been diagnosed on the high spectrum of autism. And yes he is highly creative, extremely creative with an incredible imagination. It’s true - sensitive people feel pain more and they are the highly creative ones. It’s a blessing and a curse, a paradox.

    I loved this video. I feel exactly like that. The more I get into my recovery from PTSD, the more I turn into the arts -- poetry-art-theatre-comedy- to heal, to feel, to find me and it feels great. My addiction was angry, sugar, avoiding people (isolation). Now I Have to heal by social skills and find a way to connect better with others. Thanks for airing this interivew and thanks Gabor Mate for your honesty.

    When I began to understand the difficulties of trauma, I began to understand my parents and their parents too. To understand everything related to evolution and our lives in the world. Thats the challenge for truly sensitive people and you can be a legacy and culmination of a lot of subconscious things absorbed into your patterns early on. Habits are hard hard walls sometimes when they are woven subconsciously across your potential partly by the intractable pains of existence. Sometimes just wanting to be heard and accepted and not always misunderstood is a symptom of the deep habit of understanding others too much. ❤

    Hsp, gifted, creative, extroverted, curious, adventurous. insightful as a young, very young child, in a family with talented and damaged parents. I learned to hide my gifts and became the Invisible Child. Most of my life has been devoted to overcoming my childhood of endless putdowns and criticisms and neglect.
    Through AA and the 12 Step programme I've recovered a lot of my original self and developed a better view of myself and made a lot of peace. Now I am more introverted when alone and still extroverted when with people. I accept myself better and nurture myself. Still curious and love learning new things, and I'm pretty grounded. Done some forgiving too, of myself and others.
    77 now and embracing old age as just another stage of life. And now I can admit that having an extremely precocious child in the family could be very hard work. Oh, the endless questions! Lol!

    You don’t prevent the trauma, you ride it and GROW. With much adversity comes much strength. How can beauty and greatness come through the gifts without struggle and adversity? It’s actually incredibly beautiful. My experience being hsp with a deep history of it throughout my family - highly gifted, and still working out in my 40’s how to use it to bless others. With the added stress, if not identity shaping severe child sexual abuse that I still have no memory of, but has caused me to dissociate throughout my childhood and adult life. So much so that I never recognized the obvious signs of the abuse. Because of the adversity, I have a greater scope for the big picture. And I will trust the process as it unfolds.

    if we are going to use the term "highly sensitive person" i think it is important to also say WHY one is highly sensitive. because there is a why. no one is born sensitive like a snowflake without a cause. it is either due to physical illness, serious mental illness, autism, or developed trauma. otherwise this "highly sensitive" thing has not meaning. you could say a person who has anxiety might be highly sensitive, but that's not the correct term oh this self proclaimed title. i think A LOT of people don't realize where this term comes from. it comes from a a female author who is autistic. ASP. but she rejected that label and didn't want to have that diagnosis, despite having it - and she renamed it HSP. so now, being highly sensitive - in the way that is meant for people on the spectrum, has now become a term, that ANY person can use for any little reason they personally feel is the reason they are sensitive. which is a really big problem, :) because a lot the symptoms of being "highly sensitive" are autistic/schizotypal/schizophrenic symptoms. if you look deeper into it, a lot of people might realize they are actually on the spectrum. as these symptoms are KEY indicators of it. we are all sensitive souls, and women especially, we can be so soft and delicate and feel so much but it is important to use correct language, because this term is getting way too out of hand used by so many who wants the label of being sensitive, but not the label of being on the spectrum. and that's really unfortunate.
