Episode Transcript (provided by Riverside)
On this episode I chat with my good friend, Dr. Patty Williams, a trauma therapist and advocate for the gifted and neurodivergent community. Dr. Patty shares her personal journey as a 2E child and now therapist. I speak with Dr. Patty about her upcoming book, healing gifted trauma and how we heal. She also discusses the Bloomers group, a Facebook community for gifted and twice exceptional adults. It's a great conversation that I've been looking forward to sharing with you all for awhile.
Key Topics
- The challenges with identifying and supporting gifted and 2E people, especially when their giftedness masks other needs or conditions.
- Why imposter syndrome can be common among gifted individuals, leading them to question their expertise and belonging in their field.
- Why she wants to move away from the term "asynchronous development"
- The importance of safe and inclusive community, such as the Bloomers group
