Conversation 4: Gifted Needs & Symbolism

In this episode, Jennifer Harvey Sallin & Karin Eglinton explore gifted-specific needs. In response to gifted-specific trauma, we often get distanced from a present-moment awareness of our gifted-specific needs and enter into a negative feedback-loop of self-alienation. We explore how this cycle gets started, and how we can interrupt it and exit it by becoming dynamically aware of and responsive to our own gifted needs.

Om Podcasten

"Gifted trauma" is the trauma that gifted (highly intelligent) people can experience when ridiculed, ignored, rejected, misunderstood, out-of-place, left out or left behind, pressured, or excessively groomed as a result of their unusual minds. Their high mental complexity also affects their experience of more common traumas in important ways. In this podcast, Jennifer Harvey Sallin, psychologist & founder of www.intergifted.com, explores all this and the many paths to healing for gifted adults, with her guests.
