There is no better gift than that of experience. Material possessions usually disappear out of our lives. Experiences help form us and can remain in our memories forever.
It is with this in mind that I am sharing with you about the Gifted Women Symposium which will be held in Westminster, Colorado on June 2nd. This special event is being hosted by Gifted Development Center and will be led by Dr. Linda Silverman, psychologist, speaker, and author, and Paula Prober, therapist for the gifted, blogger and author of the resonating book, “Your Rainforest Mind.” It will be a day of rejuvenation, connection and learning about the unique characteristics and challenges of gifted women.
Some of you still may not realize that you are gifted. Let me share Paula Prober’s description of her presentation for the symposium titled, “Gifted Women - Rainforest Minds: Living With And Loving Our Complexities." Perhaps it will help.
"Do you feel like not enough and too much at the same time? Are you overwhelmed by breathtaking sunsets, itchy clothes, strong perfumes, bad architecture, buzzing that no one else hears, angry people you don’t even know, needy friends, and world hunger? Do people tell you to lighten up when you’re just trying to enlighten them? Do you find decision making about your future career and deciding what color to paint the bedroom equally daunting due to the deluge of possibilities assaulting your frontal lobes?
If you answered yes to these questions, you may have a rainforest mind. A personhood that runs faster, wider, and deeper than most. But how do you navigate in a world that overwhelms you and tells you that you’re too smart for your own good?"
In her talk, Paula will share examples from her counseling practice and her book to detail the complexities of adult giftedness and provide strategies and resources to help gifted women understand themselves, build healthy relationships, find self-acceptance, and create a better world.
Selecting the perfect gift for a gifted woman can be tough. The best gifts are those with meaning.
