publication · 2026-09-29

In 2025, psychotherapist Francesca Santamaria Palombo published her book "Brilla nella tua sensibilità" through Giunti Psicologia. This work delves into the experiences of Highly Sensitive People (PAS), informed by her personal journey. Santamaria Palombo, who operates "Psicobenesserealfemminile," centers her practice on women and childhood issues. She draws on Dr. Elaine Aron’s research on high sensitivity dating back to the early 1990s. The narrative reflects her formative years in Formia (LT), highlighting feelings of being overwhelmed and a desire for validation. The book includes reflections, exercises, and methods for fostering self-love, self-esteem, and emotional development, with a focus on "emotional distancing." Illustrations by the author complement the text, framing it as a "health walk" toward improved emotional and psychological well-being. Antonia De Francesco reviewed it for MIfacciodiCultura.
