This helps me feel better – a lot.
10 year old gifted girl. (Ditto for 9 year old gifted boy. And also a 9 year old highly sensitive girl.)
I like the analogy of ocean waves and emotion waves – and that there are degrees of feelings, just like different colored flags on an ocean beach. I want more time to learn about this!
Emotional waves
Your metaphors are a wonderful way to create and construct meaning. I love the Tune in Tool and waves as a way to monitor the level of emotions. Attendee CAGT 2016

Ways I can be supportive
Helped to know how/why GT population is more impacted than are others by trauma. Normal response to trauma is good. Thanks for “When to seek counseling”. GT educator, GT parent. 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
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
