What It’s Like to Be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP): Real Stories & Science

Discover the personal experiences of 6 individuals scoring high on the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) scale, paired with scientific insights into Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS). This student-produced video combines authentic, real-life stories with scientific commentary from Prof. Corina Greven. Learn how HSP is studied as Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) in scientific literature, and stay tuned to hear each participant’s one-word definition of sensitivity at the end.
The video is the product of a mini-internship by three talented MSc Cognitive Neuroscience students at Radboud University in the Netherlands, developed under Prof Greven's supervision. A special thank you to our six interviewees for courageously sharing their personal journeys.
If you find the video insightful, please like and share it to help spread awareness about high sensitivity.

Interesting.
What a pity that the music makes it so difficult to listen and is getting on highly sensitive nerves 😢
