As a child, Maurice Barthélémy had no idea that he was hypersensitive. He just knew he always felt out of step. He couldn’t bear certain sounds, temperature variations, or bright lights. From an early age, he lacked self-confidence and perceived the world around him as a danger. When he became an actor, he would torpedo auditions and miss appointments so as not to risk failure. He was hypersensitive.
But psychologists had not yet given a name to this condition, which tended to be mixed up with other syndromes.
In this witty and moving account, Maurice explores his experience of hypersensitivity, from childhood to the accomplished and fulfilled man he has become. He shares his insights into the different elements, like slices of life, of his hypersensitivity. The combination of his openness and the insights provided by therapist Charlotte Wils, offers readers – hypersensitive or not – keys to better understand themselves, to listen to and love others.
