Do You Crave Being Alone, Get Deeply Moved by the Arts or Get Hangry Often?
You might be an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person)
I’ve always been an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) since age 12 or so.
I learned through therapy that I also have Genetic Trauma issues and C-PTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.) So I have a cluster of diagnoses but hey, don’t we all have our shit?
I drove away from the therapist yesterday feeling ‘lighter’ because I have a new understanding. Although I know I have all these things, they don’t define me. I also need to OWN it before I heal it. Feel it to heal it some say.
So, yes I know I have Epigenetic Traumas also called Transgenerational Traumas past down from my ancestors. You can read more about that here which could be a factor in my HSP and my C-PTSD.
Transgenerational Trauma is a theory which states that trauma can be transferred from the first generation of trauma survivors to the second and further generations of offspring of the survivors via complex post-traumatic stress disorder mechanisms. — Wikipedia
