The Highly Sensitive Person At Work
In the past ten years there has been much new information gleaned regarding personality and innate temperament. One such fascinating trait which has garnered much attention of late, is that of the highly sensitive person, or HSP.
In the groundbreaking book by Dr. Barrie Jaeger, aptly titled, ‘Making Work Work For The Highly Sensitive Person: Learning to bend, not to break when work overwhelms you,’ we can discover the intricities of this rather unusual trait. In essence, the highly sensitive person has a nervous system that has a much lower threshold to stimulation than most people. In fact, Dr. Jaeger affirms that only 15-20% of the population has this trait. Some people are born with a neurological system that is pre-wired as a highly sensitive person. Others may be traumatized early in development and become hypersensitive as a result of abuse or extreme childhood stress.

“Finally Validated”
“I’ve struggled in the workplace for years. I’ve intuitively taken steps to keep myself from becoming overwhelmed by work. I figured that I was a slacker but after reading this book I realized that these steps helped to shield me from a world that was sometimes overwhelming and seemed morally wrong to me. I had numerous ah-ha moments while reading this book. I’m not so strange after all. Suddenly I have been given coping skills for dealing with the overwhelming stimulation I sometimes receive from the workplace.”

Wow, I haven’t finished the book yet, but so much of it was written for me. The amount of comments so far has been scarey. I remember meeting my birth mother for the first time and her telling me what was wrong with me healthwise and things I hadn’t even noticed. This has a similar feel.
I’m in the process of trying to make my work work, change jobs regularly, lose my temper due to stress, walked out of my job last week, am in tears more days than I care to remember, overload myself as I can’t say no to others, and so much else. To find that I am not the worst person in the world after all, but part of a group of equally challenged people, is fantastic.
I hope I will be able to improve and deal with things or find my Calling.
Thank you for the book, now it’s up to me to make a difference in my life.
I saw myself on every page.
Now I know the danger of staying in Drudgery and the trap I fall into of trying to make it better. Leaving before my energy is depleted is a lesson I will take to heart.
The distinction between the Icarus effect and the Phoenix was also an important shift for me, taking the judgment out of the experience.
Thank you for this book.
