Exploring sensitivity can lead to self-acceptance and empowerment. The speaker recounts a transformative experience at age 25 when discovering Dr. Elaine Aron’s book, "The Highly Sensitive Person."

It provided an acronym, "DOES," which encapsulates the core aspects of sensitivity: Depth of Processing, Overstimulation, Empathy, and Sensitivity to Subtleties.
