High Ability Adults and Anxiety - P. Susan Jackson

How Can High Ability Adults Understand and Ameliorate Their Anxiety?

"Exceptionally bright human beings are infinitely more than the sum of their complex intellects and remarkable talents."

From description on a page for the Let’s Talk 2e Adult Conference, for the presentation "The Role of Anxiety in the Lives of Gifted Adults: Origins, Manifestations, and Amelioration" with Patricia Susan Jackson, M.A., R.C.C.

The description continues:

"Gifted adults have the inborn capacity for extraordinary cognitive, affective, physical and intuitive functioning.

"They have a core substrate of advanced and accelerated functions within the brain which is enhanced or inhibited by their interface in the environment.

"Due to their innate differences from the norm, there may be a gross lack of fit and absent or inadequate opportunities for them to develop holistically, without injury.

"Yet, it is every gifted person’s birthright to live a fully actuated “switched-on” life.

"We will examine guiding principles, habits, mindset and skills that contribute to a life well-lived for this extraordinary populace.

"Central to this discussion will be recognizing the complex role of anxiety in their lived experiences."

Learn about this and other recordings from the Let’s Talk 2e Adult Conference - which "provides highly relevant and relatable sessions addressing:
