• How I Healed My Gifted Trauma

    ByGordon Smith

    One of the ways the InterGifted community helps gifted adults is through shepherding people’s individual experience out into the world through a careful, nurturing process of publishing. In InterGifted’s latest publication – How I Healed My Gifted Trauma – gifted writers and illustrators from around the world share their paths toward wholeness. I have a long poem included. It’s titled Brood XIV and was inspired by the 17 year cicada eruption that happened in western North Carolina this year.

    “How I Healed My Gifted Trauma is a collective exploration of that journey, written and illustrated by gifted adults around the world who have faced, integrated and restored wholeness following gifted trauma. Together, we show how uniqueness, adversity, and purpose can be woven into a deeper sense of existential belonging.

    Compiled and edited by Jennifer Harvey Sallin and Lil Jedynak, in 2025. This book includes 18 stories and many more illustrations from 14 contributors.”
