Interview with Elaine Aron on sensitivity and anxiety
Deanne Repich, Director of the National Institute of Anxiety and Stress, interviewed Dr. Aron for the Conquer Anxiety Success Program. Here is a message by Deanne Repich [photo] from her newsletter about the new interview:
Is part of your anxiety that you are “too shy” or “too sensitive,” according to others? Does your body’s alarm system go off easily when you encounter bring lights, lots of noise, or other stimuli? Do you have a keen imagination or vivid dreams?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be a Highly Sensitive Person. Most of us feel over stimulated every once in a while, but for the Highly Sensitive Person, it’s a way of life.
In the Conquer Anxiety Success Program, I had the rare opportunity to interview Dr. Elaine Aron, bestselling author of The Highly Sensitive Person.
If you’re not familiar with Dr. Elaine Aron, she turned the scientific world on its ear with her research into high sensitivity. She is a psychotherapist, workshop leader, and highly sensitive person herself. Her work has impacted millions worldwide.
Dr. Aron is one of my personal heroes. Truly, her work was life-transforming in helping me to conquer my own anxiety when I was in anxiety’s grasp.
I had the amazing opportunity to interview Dr. Aron and am so excited that we are able to share this exclusive no-holds-barred interview on CD within the Conquer Anxiety Success Program.
In my interview I asked Dr. Aron questions you won’t find anywhere else that dig deep to the core. I asked her the nitty-gritty of what we want to know: how does high sensitivity tie in with anxiety and what can we DO about it?
