The Gene That May Influence High Sensitivity (HSP)
CAPS (CYP21A2 Mutation Associated Neuropsychiatric Spectrum) described in Dr. Sharon Meglathery’s RCCX Theory shares considerable overlap with the HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) concept developed by Dr. Elaine Aron. Both describe individuals with deeply sensitive nervous systems, high empathy, emotional depth, and a tendency to become easily overwhelmed by chaotic or high-stimulation environments.
RCCX Theory attempts to provide a biological framework underlying this psychological presentation. These traits appear to impact 20-30% of the population and are not considered pathologic.
As someone who has been “highly sensitive,” I find RCCX theory to be very helpful in understanding not only vulnerabilities, but also strengths and how to harness those strengths effectively without burnout or overwhelm.
I’ll be discussing CAPS, HSP and RCCX Theory in an upcoming newsletter.
