But what if you have a highly sensitive mind? Highly sensitive people, known as empaths, have an expanded capacity to feel not only one set of emotions but also those of others. They experience life more deeply than the average person, leaving them more susceptible to nervous system dysregulation, emotional trauma, and abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivided into three parts—Body, Mind, and Soul—Brianna Pastor’s intimate collection of poems invites us to explore what it’s like to discover high sensitivity in adulthood and view life through an empathetic lens. Hopefully, by deepening our understanding of sensitivity and how it affects others, we can move one step closer to a more connected, healed world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI have a bellyache\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003efrom constantly absorbing\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eall this pain.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI’d ask you to refrain from telling me,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ebut your eyes already have.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e\"Brianna Pastor is by far one of my favorite new writers.\" - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eyung pueblo, #1 New York Times bestselling author\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"When you read Brianna Pastor's words, it's like looking into a mirror.\" - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTerence Lester, founder of Love Beyond Walls and author of I See You: How Love Opens Our Eyes To Invisible People\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Brianna’s words are a gift to the world.
