Synopsis

This simple, nutshell guide book steps beyond a basic understanding of high sensitivity, looking at the challenges and distress that meltdowns can cause for highly sensitive children. And for you. A meltdown can be a terrifying experience for a highly sensitive child and for people witnessing it. This guide gives you the confidence to understand what having a meltdown means, and the knowledge to provide support and comfort. We help you to navigate the reasons why meltdowns happen and how to prevent them where possible, as well as the vital need to be compassionate and caring with yourself and others when they do occur.

About this title

About the Author

James Williams is a BACP-registered integrative counsellor and the author of bestselling guides on high sensitivity, with over 50,000 copies sold worldwide. His books — including Understanding the Highly Sensitive Child, Supporting the Highly Sensitive Child: Making Sense of Meltdowns, and Understanding the Highly Sensitive Person — have been trusted by parents, teachers, and therapists across the globe.
James began writing when his own daughter's sensitivity inspired him to seek answers. Finding Elaine Aron's pioneering work gave him the language he needed — but he wanted to create something shorter, simpler, and more practical for busy parents. His first book, Understanding the Highly Sensitive Child, with a foreword by Dr. Aron herself, has since become a go-to introduction for families and professionals alike.
Alongside his guides, James co-authored Annie's World: There are Rainbows in the Sand, a gentle children's story that helps highly sensitive children see their differences as beautiful strengths.
Through his counselling work, writing, and new project MyHSC, James continues to support families, parents, and sensitive people of all ages with warmth, compassion, and clarity.
