New guidelines re resuscitation. No more need for mouth-to-mouth, for adults.
HSPs
Posted March 25th, 2008 by davidv
About a year ago, I came across a book by clinical psychologist Elaine Aron, Ph.D., "The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You", 1996. Aron writes HSPs (highly sensitive persons) are found in approximately 15-20% of any population (including animals). HSPs have more finely tuned central nervous systems which makes them more susceptible to environmental stimuli.
The stimuli can be noise, fragrance, certain foods, beauty, pain, etc. HSPs process this sensory stimuli more deeply than the other 80% of people.
