If you are ‘bright’ and ‘multitalented’ the Hidden Barrier number four – the crime of outshining – may as well play an important role for you.īecause in case you are an HSP – or maybe even an HSP plus High Sensation Seeker like me, which complicates things further – and/or ‘gifted’, it’s really important that you understand what it entails… Many if not most HSP and certain Gifted Adults (even more so if you have never been detected as such) suffer from the Hidden Barrier number one: they feel fundamentally flawed. Above everything, it allowed me to see myself and my past troubles in a completely new light.

The principle is easy: whenever you are doing something that sabotages your present happiness you are ‘upper limiting’.

Gay Hendricks explains the upper limit problem as follows: “Here’s the bottom line: We have an inner thermostat that determines the amount of love and success we allow ourselves. Now let me introduce a third concept that will allow you to reach new heights of everyday well-being: knowing about the ‘upper limit problem’. More about this at the end of this article. My perspective on what my ‘zone of genius’ looks like shifted when I learned about the concepts of Highly Sensitive Person HSP and Gifted Adults in 2015.
