I've read every 'highly sensitive person' book and took the quizzes and still ended up exhausted after every lunch with my sister. This wasn't another quiz. The first chapter nailed why 'just setting a boundary' never worked for me - it was about my body's response, not my lack of willpower. The A.C.C.E.P.T. framework is the first thing that felt like a map, not a pep talk. The 7-day plan was so simple I actually did it, and the '60-second body scan' stopped a stress headache on day three. If you're tired of feeling like a sponge, this is the manual you've been missing.
