Stress Sensitivity & Health
Sensitive people experience everything more deeply – including stress.
Most us us know that stress can affect our physical and mental health. However, if you have underlying sensitivity — regardless of the origin — it can make you even more vulnerable to the effects of stress.
Let’s say, for example, that you had a difficult childhood or experienced traumatic events early in your life – or even had undiagnosed trauma as an adult. That can translate into how your brain, nervous system and emotions work as you get older. If you are genetically more sensitive, those experiences are even more likely to affect you deeper than the average person.
(Just to be clear, you do not have to have the genetic sensitivity trait, to be experiencing stress sensitivity.)

How Does Sensitivity Effect Health & Wellness Treatment?
Sensitivity often responds best to a sensitive approach.
Many people who are sensitive do not respond optimally to conventional treatment. In particular, medications can hit them harder, make the symptoms worse, or give them side-effects. This does not mean that they should not receive conventional treatment, but it does mean that a natural approach in conjunction with their regular treatment can help them feel more in harmony with their body and better overall.
In general, the best kind of treatment is going to give immediate relief of the symptom, but will also treat the ROOT of the problem or imbalance for more long-lasting and effective results.
