No no girl,too many big words,just chill,it doesn't matter,you l see!

Overexitibilities. A stupid word. That’s energy to be channeled into positive production.

Kids/adults with conduct disorder can also be gifted... yes? Prisons are full of them (many 2e AND with heavy trauma histories). Was the kid also assessed for 2e? Also curious if the kid who tested at 105 have any learning challenges at school? Was this child 2e? Was that considered and tested for (i.e. auditory processing, visual-spacial challenges, dysgraphia, dyslexia, dyscalcula, ADHD etc.)? Just curious? Thanks.

Thanks for everything. I am confused here, i mean,can a person be of average IQ and still have overexcitabilities?

Nice

Emma, you are brilliant. Your presentation captures so many of my issues with some "Dabrowskians". It is fine to have an academic community, I even consider myself an academic (and have done many interviews and analysis/reports of qualitative nature), but the ego, nomenclature, stodginess, resistance to iterations (i.e. basic scientific process) is a HUGE turnoff. Dabrowski did not invent the concept of self, introspection, or many other concepts, he put them into a shorthand matrix that can be useful. Thanks Dabrowski! I am much less interested in visiting a museum of thought than I am in jumping in the stream of flow that can deliver more people to realize their potential and get out of dark places. Useful, easy, modern, relevant, accessible - these are honorable, humanity serving aspirations that align with Dabrowski's invitation. Testing, learning, collaborating, failing hypotheses, and iterating are very basic practices that should be welcome in any scientific considerations, especially when testing a robust theory. You embody this advocacy better than any Dabrowski expert I've heard. Thank you. What is strange is that I loathe but I appreciate how you see that these concept translate into many modalities of communication. I am interested specifically now in a stock and flow or causal loop diagram that shows what happens when a gifted or OE person comes across information as you (and I) did. Back when I 1st re-embraced my own giftedness, I also saw a huge interest in gifted children /their programming, activity addressing some gifted aspects in academia, and nothing for those of us that did not make careers centered on giftedness or Dabrowski. What you seem to be saying is that you are actually more interested in the outcomes of unleashing giftedness - whether that be helping someone out of the dark or helping someone fulfill some potential - instead of staying centered on the theory and how fussy we can get about it. That is where I'm at. Debating nuances of past theory is not useful to me, I've got potential to fulfill for myself and humanity.

This is a message. Hi Michael et al.

"Why do we ask children to trust adults when we don't trust children?" Truth.

Solid Gold, wish I had known this 48 years ago.

I just saw the talk posted on the Dutch gifted learners conference (NTCN). It’s neat to hear his views from a few decades ago too. EDIT: This was a great interview. I did listen to it at 1.75x because he is thoughtful and takes long pauses. It was fun hearing his interactions with Linda Silverman and other well known giftedness researchers. This discussion seems more focused on just describing giftedness internally than helping parents and educators embrace the strengths of gifted children. More people need an opportunity to see this gem.

thank you

I appreciate the analogies and ideas to bring improvements and attention to Kazmierez's important work. Ultimately, I have found more peace because of the theory of positive disintegration and OEs and believe part of why we're all here it to improve ourselves and once we do to help others improve, too. The ending of this session serves as a reminder I need to do my part by spreading the word.

Thank you ❤️

crying over the final thoughts! Thank you guys! thank you Emma! I am one of those needles Struggling!!! I am 42 years old from Argentina and less than 1 month ago I found the theory and it is definitely a life saver, last week I finished listening to your podcast completely hallucinating and a few days ago I joined the community of adults with overxitabilities but I have not yet introduced myself, I feel I have so much to read and at the same time I am overflowing!

Disappointingly superficial

Oh wow i’m astonished and speechless how all details really bring me lights above my head: I’m not mentally ill. Hi, I’m Stella from Indonesia, I’m 35 yo, and i was misdiagnosed with BPD / NPD / A bit tendency leaning towards bipolar emotional roller coaster. And in my personal finding that brought me to Positive Disintegration: now all the little pieces in my life come to a solid frame. Thankyou so much for sharing this video. It’s deeply meaningful for me

Nabraskians?? You have fans from all over the world! 🤣 UK here..
