Conversation 15: Giftedness, Personality Disorders & Paths to Wholeness
<p>In this episode, Jennifer Harvey Sallin talks with clinical psychologist Kael Cockcroft about the origins of personality disordering, what it's like when giftedness and personality disordering overlap, and therapeutic and personal paths to wholeness. </p> <p>Personality disordering is about getting stuck in limited strategies for relating and surviving, due to restrictive emotional and relational environments as a child. Giftedness is about high intellectual and often emotional, creative and existential complexity. The combination of gifted complexity and structural personality rigidity make life particularly challenging for individuals in this overlap, but paths for change and thriving do exist, and Kael shares the healing wisdom earned from his extensive experience treating this population.</p> <p>Jennifer and Kael also discuss the challenges of giftedness and narcissism that are particularly dominant in highly disruptive subcultures, for example in the tech world, and how we as individuals and the collective need to take agency in how we relate to and educate the world about intelligence, narcissism and what true, embodied and wise paths to individual and collective thriving are. </p> <p>To learn more about Kael and his work, go to www.stormsedgetherapy.co.uk</p> <p>To learn more about Jennifer and InterGifted, go to www.intergifted.com</p> <p>If you're a therapist or coach who is interested in attending a professional training program with Kael and Jennifer on these themes, write to us at connect@intergifted.com.</p>

Conversation 13: Taking Listeners' Questions on Gifted Trauma & Healing
<p>In episode 13, Jennifer Harvey Sallin and gifted coach and leader Eva Bruchez take listeners’ questions on healing from gifted trauma. They explore the role of “little t” trauma in the life of a gifted person, the long-term effects of childhood emotional neglect (including a lack of loving touch), and the complications of narcissistic parenting on gifted children in developing a strong sense of self in the world. They also discuss the sense of imprisonment gifted people can feel when they’re constrained to the neuronormative box, as well as the creative trauma that can come about as a result of schooling in a capitalist system. In addition to addressing what kind of support and involvement gifted people can expect from others in their lives (friends, professionals, colleagues, family) as they progress on their healing journey, they emphasize the essential role of innate creativity, self-responsibility, and a willingness to embrace one’s own unique experiences and path as an act of healing. We hope you enjoy it!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Resources mentioned in this episode can be found <a href="https://intergifted.com/conversations-gifted-trauma" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">here</a>.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Learn more about Jennifer Harvey Sallin & InterGifted at <a href="https://intergifted.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">www.intergifted.com</a>. </p>
