Description

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear a live presentation by Dr Elaine Aron - the world's foremost authority on the personality trait of high sensitivity.

If you, your child or someone you know is considered by others to be 'too sensitive', 'too reactive', prone to hurt feelings, upset by criticism, eager to do things 'just right', shy, introverted, fussy...you or they may have the personality trait of high sensitivity.

Research conducted by clinical psychologist, Dr Elaine Aron has identified that 15-20% of the population has this trait. It is innate, visible from birth and people with the trait are deeply reflective, sensitive to subtleties, easily overwhelmed, intuitive, highly empathetic and often gifted.

Elaine has pioneered the research into highly sensitive people and is the author of the worldwide best selling books The Highly Sensitive Person and The Highly Sensitive Child. She has also written The Highly Sensitive Person in Love.

You may be a highly sensitive person (HSP) or the parent of a highly sensitive child (HSC). You may be a teacher/educator/coach or a health professional interested in knowing more about how to support highly sensitive adults or children.

Whether or not you are familiar with Elaine's research or books, this event is an opportunity to learn more. You will also have the chance to meet others interested in high sensitivity:

  • Lecture by Elaine starts 1.30pm (45min - 1 hour)

    While Elaine's lecture will focus on highly sensitive people (HSPs) she will also address the needs of highly sensitive children (HSCs) for the benefit of parents, teachers and others involved in nurturing them. Her presentation will cover:

    * the latest brain imaging and genetic research on "sensory processing sensitivity"
    * why the trait is normal and bestows unique advantages so that it is present not only in 20% of humans but in over 100 other species as well
    *
    best ways to cope with the main "down side" of being highly sensitive i.e. being easily over stimulated
    * how best to help sensitive children develop their remarkable potential.

  • Afternoon break starts 2.30pm (30 mins)

    After the lecture there will be a 30 minute break for a cuppa (tea/coffee and fresh fruit). You will be able to submit written questions for Elaine and the panel during this time (as well as or instead of asking questions during the Q&A). A limited number of signed copies of Elaine's books The Highly Sensitive Person and The Highly Sensitive Child will be available to buy - payment can be made with cash, a credit card or via eft pos.

  • Q & A/Panel Discussion starts 3pm (1 - 1.5 hours)

    The Q & A/panel discussion facilitated by Janine Ramsey will include Elaine Aron, a teacher (Anna Meuli), a parent (Sarah Connor) and a registered psychotherapist (Heather Chambers), each with experience of highly sensitive adults or children in New Zealand.
