Cheryl Richardson on sensitivity and self-care

Cheryl Richardson relates an example of her own sensitivity:

“Last night I went to see a movie with a group of friends. 

“I’d heard wonderful things about the story from people whose opinion I respect, and I was so looking forward to enjoying the film.

“However, within twenty minutes of watching, I made a decision to leave the theater.

“I’m very sensitive to violence and human suffering and therefore my threshold is pretty low.”

From her article So Sensitive: Are you tired of sucking it up?

Chapter 8 of her book The Art of Extreme Self-Care is titled “You’re So Sensitive.”

Her book The Art of Extreme Self-Care: Transform Your Life One Month at a Time is available in Hardcover, Kindle, Paperback & Audiobook.

There is also a 12-session online course.

Cheryl Richardson is the New York Times bestselling author of several books including, Take Time for Your Life, Life Makeovers, Stand Up for Your Life, The Unmistakable Touch of Grace, The Art of Extreme Self Care and her new book with Louise Hay called You Can Create an Exceptional Life.”

Thanks to Jacquelyn Strickland (co-creator of the HSP Gathering Retreats ™ along with Dr. Elaine Aron) for mentioning this video on her Facebook page.

She comments that this video from Cheryl Richardson is ‘on the positives of being a HSP & “taking care of your sensitive self.” Her book, The Art of Extreme Self-Care has a chapter on The Highly Sensitive Person, and she credits Elaine Aron in this chapter. I’m pretty sure Cheryl is a HSS, Extravert HSP as well.’
