I was told that this was an interesting read and it certainly was. Having a son and a very close friend who I consider to be very sensitive souls, I wanted to read more about this subject from someone who grew up with similar sensitivity and see the common points. Help is on Its Way was fun to read and not quite as 'disturbing' as I had thought it might be based on information I had from others. Perhaps that was because, even though the subject matters was intense and serious, Jen injected some quite humorous tidbits that provided some comedic relief and they were indeed quite funny. I would say that my only reason for not giving it 5 stars was that I kind of expected, based on the title, there to be some sort of 'guideline' for helping the super sensitive child. And, perhaps, upon reading it again, I could draw some 'guidelines' from the book as I did read it over a period of about 10 days. All in all though, it provided a very real and accurate description of what it's like to have a nervous system that reacts more intensely to external stimuli than most others and that this is a very real phenomenon. Thanks Jen for sharing your story with the rest of us!

"Help Is On Its Way: A Memoir About Growing Up Sensitive" Overview

Confused by her ability to feel other people's feelings, highly sensitive Jenna comforts herself by rescuing dead animals and escaping from elementary school. When her parents divorce, her mentally ill grandmother moves in and her sensitive uncle commits suicide. After the funeral, Jenna begins to read the messages coming in through her senses more clearly, as comforting guidance and premonitions about love, life, people and the planet. This is a decade-long journey of a girl whose nervous system is intricately developed, leading to sensory highs and emotional lows. Every secret thought and fear of this sensitive child (ages 6-17) is revealed here. Since 15-20% of kids and adults have the trait of high sensitivity, this perspective needs to be heard. The story addresses a sensitive child/teen's anxiety, sadness, courage, and urgent desire to do good things for the world. Edited by Emmy Award winner Molly McKitterick. Endorsed by Psychologist Elaine Aron and Author, Coach Eva Gregory.
