About the book
In the world of today it is prestigious to be strong; to have a lot of energy, a busy schedule, a large network and to be able to participate in many activities and party all night.
This book will be useful for those who, at times, feel that this ideal makes them feel flawed. It is written for highly sensitive people and other delicate souls who may be more painfully affected by their surroundings than others, but, who also have resources that they often do not realise themselves.
The book describes what it means to be delicate and sensitive, how it is experienced and how to make use of this sensitivity in positive ways in your life. It looks at how you can become better at setting boundaries and how to enjoy your aptitude for depth, intensity and presence.
At the back of the book you will find a self-test for sensitive people developed in Denmark. Also there is a list of activities which can help you promote and support your own wellbeing as a delicate soul.
The author of the book is a psychotherapist, theologist and former pastor. She herself is a highly sensitive person and has firsthand experience of feeling trapped among people who are able to live much busier lives than the highly sensitive person finds comfortable. She also knows how much joy it brings when you find ways to give space to and use your sensitive talents.
This book is also for psychotherapists, psychologists and other counsellors – as well as for relatives and friends of highly sensitive people.
Review of the book from the Danish magazine Psychology:
Are you tired of other people telling you not to take your life so seriously?
If you belong to the group of highly sensitive people, then it is actually okay to take things seriously. The book “Loving Yourself – a guide for highly sensitive people and other delicate souls” gives good concrete suggestions on how to look after your sensitivity in everyday life.
The message is, among other things that it is all right to live life slowly and insist on presence and depth – you do not have to excel, make an impact and always give a power performance.
Ilse Sand is herself a highly sensitive person and her points seem credible and relevant. A fine little easy-to-read book that can be an eye-opener and a helping hand for sensitive souls.
