  • Positive Disintegration Podcast Ep.75

    ByGordon Smith

    Positive Disintegration Podcast has been a centerpiece of gifted information and community for over three years, and @Chris Wells and Emma Nicholson have been so generous with their time and insights. I had the pleasure of joining them for Episode 75 (and an epic vulnerability hangover that prompted another evolution for me personally). Have a listen, and please share with anyone you feel would be aided by it.

    “Gordon shares how his rediscovery of giftedness helped him make sense of his life and deepen his work with clients. The conversation dives into the challenges of unmasking in front of others—especially family—and how the safety of group spaces can empower people to become more fully themselves. Gordon introduces his unique group offerings and the powerful “Magnum Opus” exercise that facilitates self-discovery through poetry and flow state.”

  • People Who Get Me: A Gifted, Neurodivergent, Group Coaching Experience

    ByGordon Smith

    Once you’ve realized that your giftedness has everything to do with the way you interact with the world, the next, inevitable steps are toward recalibrating, reorienting, and living a life more aligned with who you are. This group provides gifted adults a space to explore their neurodivergences in a virtual room full of other outliers. In my years working with gifted people, I’ve seen that loneliness is the most common affliction of the uncommon, and People Who Get Me (PWGM) is designed to be a balm and a laboratory.

  • Notes to My Nervous System – Podcast Time!

    ByGordon Smith

    “What if the very thing that makes you gifted is also what makes life feel overwhelming?

    In this episode of Notes to My Nervous System, Erin Vandermore sits down with therapist Gordon Smith to explore what it means to live in a gifted nervous system — especially after burnout, crisis, or long-term emotional overwhelm.

  • It’s Me!!??

    ByGordon Smith

    (This piece originally appeared as an article for the Minnesota Council for the Gifted and Talented. It is written for all of the parents who realized their own giftedness after their children were identified as gifted)

    It’s Me: The Moment

    My son was identified as gifted by his school. He was having sensory issues, and they couldn’t teach him anything. He kept acing every test without trying. He was disrupting the class, too, but anyway, we had him evaluated, and it turns out he’s got a GAI score of 146. So my husband and I started reading whatever we could find about giftedness. I was reading about Bore-Out one night when it hit me. My eyes didn’t blink for a full minute… “It’s me. That’s me.”

    You were digging around to learn how to help your gifted child become as happy and as healthy as they could be. You read the books and listened to the podcasts. You attended the trainings and joined the organizations. You were on a mission to optimize all that intensity of theirs into a fulfilling life. You just want your children to live in their fullest expression.
