  • Poetic Reasoning – guest post from Laura Hope-Gill

    Poetic reasoning is a creative process rather than a scientific one. Whereas the scientific method insulates the subject of study from imagination and progresses incrementally toward a conclusion, the creative process starts with intense imagination regarding the subject and omnidirectionally guides both us and it through time-space toward deeper understanding of everything.

    Whereas scientific reasoning values control, poetic reasoning values connection. Whereas scientific reasoning accumulates evidence, poetic reasoning explodes in the heart and deepens throughout a lifetime and beyond.

    This article invites you into Poetic Reasoning and our eight-week course for gifted adults to explore creative consciousness. Begins Jan. 19, 2025.

  • Notes to My Nervous System – Podcast Time!

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

  • It’s Me!!??

    (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.

  • How I Healed My Gifted Trauma

    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.”
