We’re ALL using the ACES tools almost every day in some way. It helps our intense family members all be more peaceful and take challenges in stride much better than we used to. Mom of 7 & 9 year old highly sensitive boys.

I liked your analogy of ocean waves and emotional waves -CAGT 2016 attendee
I really liked your analogy
I like how you included Dabrowski’s theory of Positive Disintegration to show how negative emotions are essential for advanced development. Attendee CAGT 2016
Dabrowski's Theory
Thank you for helping my son. Because of you he knows that ADD is an actual condition and he is not just lazy. I hear forward motion in his voice and see the movement in his activities. I have been praying for help with him for a long time and felt drawn to your name. I don’t believe in coincidences I call them God-incidences. You have my gratitude.
Thank you for helping my son
It’s so good to know that we’re not alone or weird for having these feelings. I liked learning how to process the trauma. Good actionable items for helping my child when overwhelmed. I want a longer session. You have so much to offer. Thank you VERY MUCH! ST, GT adult, GT parent. SENG Conference 2015
Not alone
You were engaging. This is great. I like the pyramid in general. I want to learn more about it. Understanding barriers to feeling and expressing our emotions is good. I want to learn more about this too. Attendee CAGT 2016

Abnormal circumstances go with abnormal feelings is the best. I also like gripping something and letting it go to help letting go of emotions. SE, GT Educator. SENG Conference 2015.

I like how you showed us Jung’s approach and how it means that many gifted have a need to develop personally to a deeper, higher level, and that problems are an “invitation to grow and develop further”. Attendee, CAGT 2016
Jung's approach
I like how you bring in the Hero’s Journey and how gifted students’ differences are an invitation to this inner adventure. I want to learn more in how to help GT students understand this too. Attendee CAGT 2016
