Sally's son Ben was more physically and emotionally reactive. More empathetic and easily overwhelmed. As part of a small subset of the population considered Highly Sensitive, Ben processed the world more intensely. Part memoir, part parenting guide, High Sensitivity: What our son Ben taught me demystifies high sensitivity by chronicling Ben's life, which was tragically cut short by an unrelated illness. Sally, a certified counsellor, guides parents through the joys and pitfalls of raising a child with high senstivity, while imparting wisdom on how to best serve their child's development into a functioning, happy adult.

Sally Gage is a qualified teacher and family counsellor for Highly Sensitive children. As a mother herself, Sally is firmly dedicated to improving the lives of children. She teaches parents holistically, so they can raise their sons and daughters to be well-adjusted and independent. She lives on the beautiful coast of Queensland, Australia with her husband and daughter.
