HSP Connections
The Information Directory for the Highly Sensitive Person
About the full edition of "HSP Connections"
The next edition of "HSP Connections" is scheduled to be published in late September, 2008. The directory has been expanded and the format changed from "oversized" to a more handy format (similar to a "Zagat's restaurant guide"), and will include more than 250 "HSP-relevant" resources, all of which have been recommended by HSPs, for HSPs.

What will you find in the directory?.

The biggest section is the "HSP Bookshelf" area, which has been expanded, especially in the "related readings" area of self-help and spirituality with an HSP appeal. The "Internet Resources" section is divided into several areas, including "HSP Help & Information;" "Therapists, Counselors & Coaches;" "Professional Services;" and "HSP's personal web sites." In the "Connecting" area, new online groups have been added, including "online matchmaing" services recommended by several contributors. Sorry, no guarantees you'll find an "HSP match made in heaven!" There's also a calendar of HSP "events," such as the periodic HSP Gatherings, workshops offered by Dr. Elaine Aron, and more.

Looking for: We'd like to start a section on "HSP Parenting Resources," so if you know any particularly appropriate books or web sites on this topic, please let us know, by using the "Submit a Resource" link, at left. The most in-demand request we keep getting is referrals for "HSP aware" psychotherapists, counselors and coaches, so if you know someone you think should be included in the directory, please let us know!
How to order a copy of "HSP Connections"
The September 2008 Edition of "HSP Connections" will be available for purchase on/around September 25, 2008. Unlike previous versions, it will now be available in two formats: A printed and bound booklet which can be ordered for $10.00, and electronic format PDF document which will be emailed to you, for $7.00.

Since the last edition, the ordering process has been changed, to take advantage of current publishing "print-on-demand" technology. To place orders, please visit the HSP Connections "storefront" The storefront site also includes updates about publication dates, updates and revisions.

HSP Connections is no longer available by mail order, directly from me. Whereas I often have a few sample copies on hand, orders for the directory should be placed at the HSP Connections store.

Exception: If you have a business that caters to HSP clients and would like to offer HSP Connections to them, in conjunction with the service you provide, volume discounts can be arranged. Please email me for details about discounts (12 or more copies).
HSPs who live outside the USA, who may be subject to high exchange rate fees for small credit card transactions-- or who do not have access to PayPal or can't (for whatever reasons) place orders through the storefront-- may alternately send US$15.00 in cash (bank notes) at their own risk-- this will cover airmail postage back to you. Please keep in mind that whereas there are many web-based resources in the directory, most of the "brick-and-mortar" resources will be in North America or the UK.
