Well, being a HSP, and discussing the subject with HSP-friends, the first point is somehow critical. HSP are easily overwhelmed by strong minded and less reflective persons, and new situations. Make sure that you give them time to adopt the suggestion, and give them a feeling of control, so that the HSP can prepare for the adventure. And don't forget: every HSP is as indivdual as all human beings are.
