TITLE
A Research Scientist Talks About Brain Research in the Highly Sensitive Person
GUEST
Dr. Bianca Acevedo
EPISODE OVERVIEW
Dr. Bianca Acevedo talks about how the brain responds to emotional displays, and what deep processing really entails. She explains the different ways the insula processes information. She also talks about intuition, and she answers the question: Do HSPs have more mirror neurons? I was surprised at the answer! Dr. Acevedo talks about a way that HSPs can recharge in 8 minutes, and she talks about the overall percentage of people who are very sensitive, moderately sensitive and less sensitive.
