  From Dr. Sasha Hamdani, board-certified psychiatrist and one of the most trusted voices in digital mental health, comes a groundbreaking exploration of an overlooked and frequently misunderstood phenomenon: emotional sensitivity.Too much. Too emotional. Too sensitive. These are the labels often applied to people whose reactions to everyday moments—a late reply, a last-minute meeting invite, a subtle shift in tone—feel immediate and overwhelming. What begins as a small uncertainty can spiral into shame, self-doubt, and withdrawal. The reaction may seem disproportionate from the outside, but the distress is deeply real.But what if this is not a personality flaw, but biology?For Dr. Hamdani, that question was both clinical and personal. Despite professional success and outward confidence, she struggled privately with intense emotional sensitivity. In her work, she repeatedly saw capable, accomplished individuals undone by powerful waves of perceived rejection and self-criticism. In Too Sensitive, she offers the framework she once needed herself. Emotional sensitivity is not weakness. It reflects a highly responsive nervous system shaped by identifiable neurobiological processes.Blending psychiatry, neuroscience, and lived experience, Dr. Hamdani delivers a rigorous yet accessible examination of rejection sensitive dysphoria and emotional reactivity. She introduces the first assessment tool designed specifically to identify patterns of rejection sensitivity, giving readers language and clarity for experiences that often go unnamed. She then explains how dopamine dysregulation, limbic overactivation, and stress-system sensitivity can intensify perceived rejection. Rather than pathologizing sensitivity, she reframes it as both a neurological vulnerability and a powerful form of emotional attunement.Most importantly, she provides practical, research-informed tools to help readers regulate emotional surges, interrupt spirals in real time, and build resilience in relationships, work, and identity. Insightful and validating, Too Sensitive challenges the narrative that equates sensitivity with fragility and instead positions emotional depth as a strength that can be understood, managed, and harnessed for growth.

  Canaanites - The Ancient History...

  During the late 2nd millennium BC, Canaan was a Semitic-speaking civilization located in the Ancient Near East. The region held significant geopolitical importance, especially during the Late Bronze Age Amarna Period in the 14th century BC, when it became a crossroads for major empires. The Egyptian, Hittite, Mitanni, and Assyrian Empires all had areas of interest that converged or overlapped in Canaan, making it a key territory for trade, warfare, and cultural exchange. Much of our understanding of Canaan comes from archaeological excavations at sites such as Tel Hazor, Tel Megiddo, En Esur, and Gezer, where remnants of ancient Canaanite life have been uncovered. 
  In biblical texts, the term "Canaan" frequently appears to refer to the broader geographical region known as the Levant, particularly the Southern Levant. This area includes several territories that are central to the Bible’s narrative, such as the Land of Israel, Philistia, and Phoenicia. The Canaanites were the indigenous peoples of this region, and their diverse societies included both settled agricultural communities and nomadic-pastoral groups.

  Joyful. Graceful. Blessed. Strong. Anxious. Depressed. Stigmatized. Stereotyped. What happens when motherhood isn’t what you expected—and when you reach out for support, you are met with judgment and prejudice?  
  Sandra Igwe shares her journey as a young Black mother, coping with sleepless nights, anxiety, and loneliness after the birth of her first daughter. Burdened by cultural expectations of the “good mother” and the “strong Black woman” trope, her mental health struggles became an uphill battle.  
  Black women are at higher risk of developing postnatal depression but are the least likely to be identified as depressed. Sharing the voices of other mothers, Sandra examines how culture, racism, stigma, and a lack of trust in services prevent women getting the help they need. Breaking open the conversation on motherhood, race, and mental health, she demands that Black women are listened to, believed, and understood.
