Question
I just listened to a podcast where they discussed stress mastery for highly sensitive people, how we can help ourselves and our children. What resonated with me was the fact that most highly sensitive people are sickly from not understanding boundaries, trauma, and/or overdoing outside of our physical abilities. [Dr. Heidi Hanna] I agree with the ideas of caring for ourselves so we can do what needs to be done for others, but also know this might lead people to be overly attentive to themselves/ their child. This is a concern for me as my young, adult daughter (25) is experiencing random fainting and severe illness, in and around work. How might I help her, care for herself, without reinforcing this behavior? Having been a sensitive child myself, I have always listened to my children, but then urged them to "suck it up buttercup" and keep moving forward. What is the no nonsense, John Rosemond, take on this? Thank you for helping me continue to be a good parent to my grown children.
