První pomoc pro vysoce citlivé – Hammarstedt Asa-Saga (2021)

Do you need to quickly pull yourself together after a challenging situation? Do the emotions of others easily 'jump' onto you and you need to shield yourself against that? Is it essential for you to create a healing, supportive, and safe environment for living? A Swedish therapist offers a wealth of practical advice in her book on how a highly sensitive person can constructively use their sensitivity. She advises on how to cope with so-called overstimulation and how to truly care for oneself deeply in order to regain lost balance, providing practical tips from her own experience, examples of various suitable exercises focused on self-immersion and calming, and useful physical and mental strategies (how to regroup after a demanding day, how to 'ground' oneself, how to verbally express one's feelings). We also find guidance on how, as a highly sensitive person, to manage social contact, how to meet new people, how to set boundaries, how to create necessary breaks for relaxation, how to protect one's space, how to take action, and several interviews with highly sensitive individuals who have successfully changed their lives.
