Description
Most gifted adults are unaware of how bright they are and how their giftedness affects their lives, yet giftedness is not something that one outgrows. It influences our relationships, our work, and our self-image. This workshop describes some myths about bright adults, life stages that gifted adults, like gifted children, encounter, and characteristics of gifted adults as they encounter these life stages. The tasks gifted adults cope with are then related to Dabrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration, particularly with regard to overexcitabilities and to existential depression. Common patterns, issues, and problems are discussed.
