The Highly Sensitive Person in Love
by Elaine N. Aron
Aron on how sensitivity affects relationships: pairing with a sensitive or non-sensitive partner, overstimulation and conflict, sex, and the particular needs of sensitive people in love. It is research-based and specific, useful for both partners.
Read it if…
you or your partner are highly sensitive and your conflicts follow patterns neither of you understands.
Skip it if…
neither of you is highly sensitive.
Three things you will actually use
- Sensitivity shapes how love is given and received.
- Overstimulation looks like withdrawal; name it.
- Different temperaments can thrive together with understanding.
Do this first
Share the sensitivity self-test with your partner and discuss the results.
Our verdict
Specific and useful for couples.
