The link between TMS and hypersensitive

Hey, I was wondering if, like me, a majority of TMS sufferers are hypersensitive ?
What do you think about it ?

 

What do you mean as “hypersensitive”?

 

Do you mean easily hurt, offended or worried?

In that case many of us yes have that trait & maybe this link can help.

Sorry, I did not use the correct term (bad translation from french). I would like to say Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).
So thanks a lot @Mala for this article where I totally recognize myself.

And I found other topics on this forum that speak about it.
But I did not find a ratio or percentage of HSP among the TMS sufferers.
Any idea, suggestion ? 1/3 ? 1/2 ? 2/3 ?

 

As to ratios & percentages, I really don't know but Sarno does mention being highly sensitive as a TMS trait in all his books. Maybe conducting a survey here would be interesting & useful.

Glad you found the link useful. No need to apologise at all. Your use of the word is absolutely correct as in the Oxford English dictionary.

hypersensitive
/ˌhʌɪpəˈsɛnsɪtɪv/
adjective

1. 1.
   having extreme physical sensitivity to particular substances or conditions.
   
   
2. 2.
   easily hurt, worried, or offended.
   "proximity to death makes people hypersensitive and aware"

All the best

Great idea, Mala, survey started here : https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/poll-tms-hsp-highly-sensitive-person.27664/ (POLL : TMS & HSP (Highly Sensitive Person))

I did not find Highly Sensitive Person in the Sarno books, just some references about a highly sensitive nervous system in general.
Do you have a specific example of book and quote ?
