Too Loud Too Bright Too Fast Too Tight by Sharon Heller

We all know what it feels like to be irritated by loud music, aggravated by crowds, accosted by bright lights, or overwhelmed by a world that moves too quickly. However the millions who suffer from Sensory Defensiveness (SD) react to such harmless stimuli, not just as a distracting hindrance but as a potentially dangerous threat. Generally unidentified, SD is commonly misdiagnosed as generalized anxiety disorder, panic attack, and even dissociation, causing the core problem to be left untreated with sufferers unable to cope with the strains of everyday life.

The first book to identify and describe this potentially debilitating disorder, Too Loud, Too Bright, presents a holistic treatment approach that provides the tools to alleviate--and possibly eliminate--SD. A developmental psychologist and sensory defensive herself, Sharon Heller, Ph.D. is acutely attuned to the experiences of the sensory defensive person, and a compassionate spokesperson.

Sharon Heller, Ph.D., is a psychology professor and the author of The Vital Touch. She earned her master's degree and PhD from the University of Chicago and Loyola University of Chicago, respectively. She resides in the state of Florida.
