“As adults, HSPs tend to have just the right personalities for inner work and healing. Generally speaking, your keen intuition helps you uncover the most important hidden factors. You have greater access to your own unconscious and so a greater sense of others' and how you were affected. You can develop a good sense of the process itself - when to push, when to back off. You have curiosity about inner life. Above all, you have integrity. You remain committed to the process of individuation no matter how difficult it is to face certain moments, certain wounds, certain facts.”

“You were born to be among the advisors and thinkers, the spiritual and moral leaders for your society. There is every reason for pride.”

“If art's a seismographic project, when that project’s met with miscomprehension, failure must become the subject too.”
