Written By Irene Maropakis

Are you searching for resources on Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), or wondering if high sensitivity is shaping your life? Take our HSP Quiz to discover if you’re a Highly Sensitive Person and learn how specialized art therapy in NYC at Enodia Therapies can help you thrive.

Questions:

  1. Are you easily startled by sudden noises or chaotic environments?

  2. Do you notice subtle details (like textures, scents, or shifting moods) in your surroundings?

  3. When someone is upset, do you absorb their emotions strongly?

  4. After a busy day, do you crave time alone to recharge?

  5. Do you avoid violent movies or distressing news because they make you feel “too much”?

  6. Are you deeply moved by music, art, or beauty in nature?

Results:

  • Mostly Yes:
    You are likely a Highly Sensitive Person. This trait is a profound gift—bringing intuition, empathy, and creativity—but can lead to overwhelm in a noisy world.
    What does that look like in therapy?
    Sessions at Enodia Therapies honor your sensitivity, offering gentle creative arts and somatic practices to manage anxiety, build self-acceptance, and create healthy boundaries.
