<\/figure>\n\n\n\nResearch<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOnderzoekster Elaine Aron beschreef HSP als eerste voor zover ik weet. Zij heeft een test ontworpen om deze hoog sensitiviteit (HS) aan te kunnen tonen. De kenmerken van HSP werden op een rijtje gezet waardoor het makkelijk is HSP te herkennen en te erkennen. HS wordt veroorzaakt door een gevoeliger zenuwstelsel. Mensen worden op deze manier geboren en vaak wordt het door ouders al op jonge leeftijd bij de kinderen gesignaleerd. HS uit zich in extra gevoeligheid voor beelden, geuren, geluiden en aanraking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A summary of some characteristics of HSP<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Gets startled easily and doesn\u2019t like surprises<\/li>\n\n\n\n

- He does seem to be able to read minds from time to time<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They are very attuned to their surroundings<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Intuitively knowing what\u2019s going on<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Being able to make others laugh<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Asking questions that prompt deep reflection<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Quick to pick up on other people\u2019s emotions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do they notice changes in their surroundings quickly?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Notable physical characteristics of HSP<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Change your clothes straight away if they are wet or sandy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Complaints about itchy clothes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Quickly detect faint odours<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Prefer a quiet space<\/li>\n\n\n\n

- They respond better to gentle reminders than to harsh punishment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Exhausted and out of balance<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHigh sensitivity can really throw someone off balance. At school or at work, there are lots of stimuli to take in. A lot is demanded of you throughout the day \u2013 working with colleagues, managing a department, the countless questions and phone calls from customers, you name it. By the end of the day, you\u2019re completely out of balance and utterly exhausted. After work, it\u2019s straight back to it: sorting out dinner whilst your children \u2013 who are probably highly sensitive too \u2013 bounce around you like rubber balls. That brief moment you need to just catch your breath seems to be nowhere in sight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
HS-mensen kunnen uitgeput raken van meerdere indrukken achter elkaar of een intense indruk ineens. Ze raken overprikkeld en kunnen daardoor minder goed functioneren. Dit kan zich op verschillende manieren uiten; ze trekken zich terug en worden stil of worden juist erg druk. Kinderen kunnen ineens uitbarsten in woedeaanvallen en boosheid. Maar huilerig zijn en hangen is ook een uiting. Het meest herkenbaar zijn toch wel concentratie problemen en slecht of onrustig slapen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What about children?<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\nFifteen to twenty per cent of children are affected by this. Children discover new things every day and at school they are exposed to a great many stimuli that they have to process. At home, too, there are many external stimuli, such as computer games with bright colours, rapid movements and loud noises. All of this can cause children to start displaying \u2018difficult\u2019 behaviour. Many children are hyperactive and are labelled with ADHD or a similar diagnosis. This is very upsetting for the child, as it puts even more pressure on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kinderen kunnen door al deze externe factoren onrustig slapen omdat zij zoveel te verwerken hebben. Veel kinderen kunnen het leven als zwaar ervaren, de druk van school ligt te hoog en dan ook nog eens alle activiteiten die moeten worden gedaan na schooltijd. Hoog sensitieve kinderen zijn extra gevoelig voor deze prikkels en alles komt harder aan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make the most of it<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOnce you realise that you are an HS, you can turn what you initially saw as a problem around and turn it into something positive. Discover your strengths and put them to use in your personal life or in your career. It is a natural talent that you can develop and put to good use! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
HS-mensen zijn zich heel erg bewust van hun omgeving, ze stellen vragen en hebben daarom een grote koffer met kennis. Deze algemene ontwikkeling is altijd handig. Dus deze vragende kleine kinderen kun je voeden, ze zijn hun kennis koffertje aan het vullen waar ze op latere leeftijd heel veel profijt van kunnen hebben. En op sociaal en emotioneel vlak ontwikkelt een HS-mens zich sneller. Ze kunnen zich goed inleven in de ander en zijn zich bewust van oorzaak en gevolg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By doing various exercises, you\u2019ll gain a better understanding of the positive aspects of HS and how you can support yourself or your child using the various products from De Groene Linde. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
