17. Highly "Sensory" People

Episode 17 of the Highly Sensitive Person Podcast is brought to you by the word sensitive.

A blog reader, Mike Voss, gave me the great suggestion that maybe the moniker Highly Sensitive Person could be changed to something without the word sensitive, because it's such a loaded word.

How about Highly Sensory Person? I like that a lot better.

(Actually, the trait's scientific term is Sensory-Processing Sensitivity, or SPS--but I don't hear that used very often!)

I discuss how the word sensitive might turn off male HSPs, and even how I denied being HSP at first because I didn't like "sensitive", either. Oh, did I mention it's kind of a rant?
