A professional psychologist in emergencies and addictions, Anna Romeu (Vilafranca delovedés, 1972) specializes in emotional education and accompanied by highly sensitive people. His experience in consultation and in his own skin led him to write “I am sensitive” (albums editorial)an essay in which a high sensitivity, a human characteristic that can affect 20% or 30% of the population. We are not in front of pathology, but “the way of being” with the one who lives together and that it is necessary to “understand and respect”.
-Seregura in its book, which “we produce patients with our labels”. Is the high sensitivity of the label?
-The name is a novel that talks about how we treat natural processes, about the reality I have found at my clinic. We become pathological matters that are absolutely human. Many people can live a high sensitivity like a label, but in fact it is a description of the personality, the way of being.
-therefore, it is a medical or diagnostic label.
-This is a thought. It is a way of being, not pathology.
-20% and 30% of the population can be PA (a highly sensitive person). If nothing is known about this, they can be qualified as “crying, rare or exaggerated”. What defines high sensitivity?
-All the world has sensitivity, but not the same intensity in sensitivity. Most people are in the middle country. At the end is 20% or 30% of the population. Neurotransmitters work faster. This means they send more information to the brain.
-But your brain is quite normal.
-Yeah. There are no differences anatomically.
-The sensitivity is characterized by the fact that it feels that “he is unable to disconnect thoughts”. In his book, he draws attention to the possible risk of consumption of toxic substances. You will not be enthusiastic, but “disconnect”. Do the passport suffers a greater risk of adopting drugs?
-The addiction, either in substances or behavior that are highly sensitive to the use of this behavior to avoid high stimulation. That means stopping your head. For example, the smoking of the joint for sleep.
-What people who need the need for others over their own and are very empathetic. But on the other hand, he must be alone. How do these two aspects combine?
-The. Satisfaction is a trap. Since you have high empathy and identify the needs of others, it is easy to fall into temptation to help them and solve their lives. It is disturbing that you know how you can hold and do nothing. Because this operation is so normal, you are fighting to avoid moving a lot, and this leads to another component of high sensitivity, saturation. The only remedy against saturation is time alone.
-Noing many tests, outside the Elaine Aron scale, know if a person is a passport.
-I wrote in 2022 and there was no proven test in Spanish. But now it exists. It is the Association of Pas España, which has tests for adults and children. It is important to know if you have a high sensitivity only if you need to know. Not everyone must certify it. If you want to question yourself, you will do it. Well, there is no treatment or treat anything.
-Vysoká sensitivity affects women the same, but in men it is a bigger challenge.
-Role are determined. Today there is still a belief that men do not cry, are competitive and like sport. If you read poetry or cry in a movie at which you will be very criticized for your male environment.
-How that they have good eating habits and practicing regularly, recommends that they relate to other people of the same condition. Why is it important to make a community?
-Through we are 20% of the population, we live in a world in which people are usually not the case. We cannot require others to change, so we spend daily efforts to adapt. Adaptation to the world is exhausting, we feel that we are always justifying. If you come with you, you feel understood because you are not strange, others or maladjee. This offers you safety, which makes you feel good.
-Pas has a huge virtue, empathy.
-A clarification. PA have a really higher degree of empathy, but that doesn’t mean you’re a better person than another. Good is not associated with high sensitivity. There are PAs that are bad mistakes.
-Rizic is dreaded cortisol and a generalized anxiety to which PA is more likely.
-It can be a complication, yes. Therefore, emotional education is so important, something that is increasingly occurring in schools. We work through emotions and know how to manage them is what will determine whether we will work well or not.
-Vyaniness is not a magic wand, but recommends to practice it regularly.
-Do every day, but we don’t need long. About 15 minutes a day, the difference in brain activity and the administrative capacity of this emotion changes. You are in the present and you are able to release emotions and not catch with the ideas of the past or future. It is a powerful instrument of emotional management.
