Highly Sensitive Introvert Survey 2020

Dear Highly Sensitive Introvert,

Since you’ve discovered the research on Highly Sensitive People (HSP), doesn’t it feel great to know that you are not alone … that you’re not weird … that you are a valuable part of society … even when your loved ones and your co-workers don’t understand you?

Well, that’s the way I feel. The HSP material has helped me understand myself and cope with the myriad challenges of HSP’s. I’ve been studying the material for 24 years … ever since Elaine Aron’s book, The Highly Sensitive Person, was published in 1996.

At the beginning of January 2020, I invited Highly Sensitive Introverts to take a survey about what is most important to them.

Book Celebration

So many of you have shared amazing stories of how you found my book, The Gifted Highly Sensitive Introvert: Wisdom for Emotional Healing and Expressing Your Radiant Authentic Self. (available on Amazon)

I know that God is guiding us all to find the help we need to heal and to shine as our Radiant Authentic Selves.

My book is still a #1 Bestseller after 17 months.

Thank you for making this accomplishment possible.

Here’s an edited excerpt from the latest book review posted today by Happy Girl. Thank you, Robyn!

” … now I feel I can give myself permission to love myself. I am not a weeny for needing to re-charge. Everything that I do in my life purpose is either performing for others or giving to others so no wonder that when I get home, I don’t want to leave! Now I will choose to respect that and let God guide me to the next something on my journey which will surely NOT include MORE social media time. With God, all things are possible. Thank you, Benita, for sharing your story because in so many ways, it reminds me of mine.”

Please contact me with your questions, comments and requests to help you live your Authentic Life.
