"Sensitivity is a beautiful thing." Alanis Morissette on being a highly sensitive person
About this episode
“Being a sensitive empath is a beautiful thing as an artist, and it fosters a deep burning curiosity about why we do the things we do.” - Musician Alanis Morissette
She is featured in the documentary “Sensitive – The Untold Story” - based on the work of Dr. Elaine Aron and her research on the innate trait of high sensitivity, or sensory processing sensitivity.
The first part of this episode is from the conversation between Morissette and Dr. Aron in the movie.
The second part is an excerpt from an interview by author Cheryl Richardson.
See videos about the documentary and the trait, plus resources, in article On Being a Highly Sensitive Person – a Trait With Strong Gifts and Challenges.
