Conversations on Gifted TraumaConversation 8: Healthy Boundaries, Part 3 -- Cultivating Inner OrganizationIn this episode, Jennifer Harvey Sallin & Karin Eglinton conclude our three-part episode series on healthy boundaries by exploring the cultivation of inner organization. Particularly important in this discussion are educational trauma and various dominant ideologies which, when unnamed and unnoticed, make it difficult for us to show up in the world in an organized, generative and well-boundaried manner. We explore the process of self-reeducation and unlearning that many of us must commit to in order to recover our inner organization, employ healthy boundaries, and inhabit our place and role in the current world.

Conversations on Gifted TraumaConversation 4: Gifted Needs & SymbolismIn this episode, Jennifer Harvey Sallin & Karin Eglinton explore gifted-specific needs. In response to gifted-specific trauma, we often get distanced from a present-moment awareness of our gifted-specific needs and enter into a negative feedback-loop of self-alienation. We explore how this cycle gets started, and how we can interrupt it and exit it by becoming dynamically aware of and responsive to our own gifted needs.

Conversations on Gifted TraumaConversation 3: Gifted Trauma & The BodyIn this episode, Jennifer Harvey Sallin & Karin Eglinton explore the effects of gifted trauma on the body - shock to the brain, muscular and neuronal holding patterns and physical blocks, illnesses, disability and other longer-term bodily effects.

Conversations on Gifted TraumaConversation 2: Healing Through (Gifted) ConnectionIn this episode, Jennifer Harvey Sallin & Karin Eglinton explore how gifted-specific trauma is often felt as a disconnection from the world, due to feeling socially out of place, misunderstood, unappreciated or exploited. Thus, healing requires forming nourishing and healing connections with others - especially others who are gifted and share similar minds, needs and experiences. We explore how you can know who to connect with, how to find them, how to connect with them meaningfully, and how to create a network of generative connections that will contribute to your healing and thriving.

Conversations on Gifted TraumaConversation 1: Healing Gifted ShameWelcome to our first podcast episode. In this episode, Jennifer Harvey Sallin & Karin Eglinton explore how gifted trauma can result in feeling shame about our unusual minds. Many adults with gifted-specific trauma also feel shame about the need to heal and redo more basic developmental tasks in the healing process. Healing is a complex journey, one that requires us to have self-compassion, clear self-understanding (including clear understanding of our gifted minds and our gifted-specific needs). With clear self-understanding and self-compassion, we heal our shame, and can fully embrace our unique healing process.
