If you struggle with a highly sensitive personality, this memoir and collection of stories will help you heal and flourish. Benita A. Esposito is a licensed professional counselor and best-selling author with four decades of professional experience. Even smart high-achievers have themes on their hero’s journey to the authentic self, and these were hers. What unconsciously drew her to an emotionally distant relationship or an emotionally abusive relationship? Why did she feel so hurt when others judged her? Why was she so tired? What compelled her toward self actualization?

I have just recently begun my Hero's Journey with the awareness of what I was actually doing. Before I was stumbling down a path, stopping, looking around and wondering why I struggled so to move forward. I know now that my self-esteem had taken a beating due to circumstances in my adult life. I had a hard time setting boundaries to help keep my emotional self safe. I feel that this book offers insights into how our choices (and also other peoples choices in relation to us) can shape our existence. There is no judgement in this book...only understanding that everyone's journey is personal and that hopefully there is something you can take from it to help in your personal journey.
I admit I have only just begun reading/listening to this book (I have both the softcover copy and the audible version), but I am finding so much of myself in these pages. I have read several chapters...not in order...and I can find valuable "nuggets" in each of those chapters.
I commend Ms. Esposito for having the courage to boldly tell her story of her Journey or journeys as the case may be, in order to help those of us who fall into the category of GHSI. I never even realized such a description existed before finding this book. I am looking forward to exploring more of the Heros Journey and understanding GHSI even more.
Speaking to the audible version of this book...I quite enjoy the rhythm and gentleness of the speaker's voice. The emotion comes through beautifully in the audible version.
