Listening to you helps me feel less like a misfit myself! AK, teacher. CAGT conference 2013
Feel less like a misfit
Honestly, this really helps me understand myself a lot better. I learn that I can heal myself and find my place in life. I feel that I’m not alone with my feelings and sensitivity. Thank you so much!

I like what you taught about gifted, sensitive kids being racehorses. I also like the resources you gave. Thank you! Attendee CAGT 2016
Racehorse
Thank you again for everything you have done for both my son and myself! He has been coming home happier than I have seen him in years, and more willing to share about his day at school than ever before. He is setting his alarm clock without reminders, taking showers without reminders, making his lunch, and seeking teachers for clarification of assignments!!!! When I tried to remind him about something last week, he said, “If you want me to be independent, let me be independent and figure it out for myself.” I am so happy that he is taking the initiative on his own! I am thrilled. With deepest appreciation! From the Mom of an 8th/ now 9th grade gifted boy.

Your reindeer analogy was great! BN, teacher

The 5 G’s are great. I also liked your many analogies. I want to learn more about how symptoms can be a sign to grow and develop and also how to recognize and appropriately express emotions. Attendee CAGT 2016

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
